In a bizarre occurrence that took place on Shabbos in Modi’in Illit, a deranged young man carrying a hammer proceeded to smash the windows on no less than 20 parked vehicles.
Authorities explain that the young man comes from a broken home, one in which the children were placed in institutions and the suspect is well-known to police and social services officials. The suspect was arrested in the past for similar actions.
In fact, there is a restraining order against him, prohibiting him from entering Modi’in Illit, but as the security cameras document, the young man violated the order and entered the chareidi city this past Shabbos, and headed out to the parking area and began smashing the vehicle glass.
For those with glass insurance, the damage is minimum but apparently, not all of the owners of the vehicles targeted have insurance to cover the damage.
Police received multiple calls after Shabbos to report the calls, and a unit arrived to take statements from the victims. Police succeeded in identifying the suspect from the security video, and he was arrested on motzei Shabbos, questioned and then sent to an appropriate institution.

I do not know the true reason why this man went crazy. There is a possibility that someone was making fun of him or maybe kids were making fun and the parents simply kept quiet and this just made him nuts and that maybe the reason why he went crazy.
