A pedestrian is being sought by police after a vehicle suffered considerable damage.

Guelph Police Service say a woman was driving along Stevenson Road North around 11:40 a.m. Wednesday when she stopped at the traffic lights at Eramosa Road.

They say it was there a man crossing Stevenson stopped and slammed both hands down on the hood of her car, then kicked the passenger side door.

Investigators say the actions cause two small dents on the hood and a large one on the door.

They say when the driver pulled into a parking lot to check for damage, the same man came up to the driver’s side and pulled the door open wide which caused a crease preventing it from closing properly.
