PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia Police Department is searching for the suspect who threw a brick at the windshield of a police vehicle during the recent ATV incident on Delaware Avenue.
Police released surveillance video on Tuesday of the suspect.
It happened around 8:05 p.m. on Oct. 16.
Police responded to a large group of people riding dirt bikes and ATVs near the Lukoil gas station at Delaware Ave. and Spring Garden Street.
Police say one of the riders crashed his dirt bike by the gas pumps and fled on foot.
Investigators say the 2011 Honda dirt bike was reported stolen out of New Jersey.
