SACRAMENTO, California (KCRA) — A Sacramento family is living in fear after a woman randomly attacked their home and truck with a baseball bat on Saturday morning, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Monte, the victim, said the confrontation is unforgettable. He shared home surveillance video with KCRA.
“I never thought I’d have to buy a pepper spray, you know? But this just goes to show how serious this matter is,” said Monte.
Monte requested not to show his face on camera during an interview with KCRA and/or to provide his last name, fearing the attacker might see him and return.
“She did harm to my property. Luckily, not to me, but this individual was looking to do harm,” said Monte.
He emphasized that he does not know the woman.
“People may assume that I did her wrong or something, but from the bottom of my heart, I really don’t know this girl. I wish I did so I could tell you guys more, but really, I don’t. I don’t know this person at all,” Monte said.
Monte’s family was home during the attack and immediately called 911, but the woman left before officers arrived.
“She put my parents in harm’s way. She found my grandmother. She found my mom, my whole family. My sister wasn’t even here. She’s still scared about it,” Monte said. “That just goes to show the damage that this individual caused and how ruthless this person is, because no normal person just does that.”
Sacramento police are investigating the incident as felony vandalism. The family is now left figuring out how to repair the damage.
When asked about the cost of repairs, Monte said, ” I don’t know. The exact number, but it’s in the thousands.”
As police work to identify the attacker, the family remains on edge.
“She could come back. And I firmly believe that she might. I honestly think that she has the capability of coming back. She’s capable of doing that,” Monte said.
Monte has filed a police report, but Sacramento police could not confirm if anyone has been arrested.
