However, he was prevented by doing so by the bystanders, and he fled foot into the woods nearby after hearing that the police were being called.

The suspect is described as a white male approximately 20 to 30 years of age, wearing blue jeans, black and gray gloves, black shirt, dark-colored wavy hair, and carrying a red motorcycle helmet.

The motorcycle abandoned on scene by the suspect is an unregistered black and green Kawasaki KLX400.
