A man smashed 27 windows in front of Alhambra Superior Court on Saturday. The windows were 12-foot-tall each, and the damage is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars. The man told police that he was angry about a pending court case and that he heard voices in his head, reports the
Pasadena-Star News.
The act of vandalism was reported around 3:30 pm, according to
CBS Los Angeles. Officers from the police station, which is directly across the street from the courthouse, came out to subdue the man. He was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation and medical treatment for cuts that were sustained during his rampage.
