Those with potential surveillance footage or drivers with dash cam footage are being urged to contact investigators.
Police are also searching for a man who allegedly assaulted two off-shift transit drivers early Saturday morning.
Police were called to the 600 block of Brandon Avenue around 5 A.M.
Upon arrival, they found a 57-year-old man who suffered a minor injury.
Officers believe the suspect approached a 54-year-old transit driver who was sitting in his parked vehicle and shattered the driver-side window.
The driver waved down a passing transit bus for help. A passenger on that bus, an off-duty transit worker, went to help and he was assaulted.
Neither man required attention. The suspect fled before police arrived.
The investigation is ongoing.
