*Sheesh! We can only wonder what this guy’s problem is. We’ll take a couple of guesses and posit that maybe it’s drugs and/or alcohol and/or mental issues. Or all of the “above.”
We’re of course refering to the video above of an individual who went on a rampage in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, throwing rocks and debris at a bus and other vehicles. He’s been identified as 32-year-old Emmanuel Moncada.
Several bus riders riders and bystanders, after a while, couldn’t deal with the craziness and ended up laying (lots of) hands on the man and detained him for police.
ABC7 reports the incident happened on Tuesday afternoon near Venice Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. The shirtless man was seen throwing rocks at a Metro bus and breaking windows of several cars passing by.
After boarding the city bus, freaked out passengers (and the bus’ driver) fled the vehicle through the back door. Unfortunately, one passenger was injured and taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Douglas Abraham told KTLA 5 that he was among those targeted. He said the first noticed cars going over the center divider, and wondered why — then Moncada approached him.
“He was waving me in like I was the next victim to get hit with a rock, and so I was thinking, ‘Should I run him over, or should I just brace for the rock impact?’ ”
After doing the same thing to the window of another vehicle, Moncada collects even more rocks and walks toward two busses that are waiting amid the traffic on Venice Boulevard.
He begins repeatedly throwing the rocks at one of the buses’ front windows before walking over to the second bus and doing the same thing.
The bottom line is that police arrived and arrested Moncada on suspicion of attempted carjacking and assault with a deadly weapon, Eisenman said.
One person and 16 vehicles were apparently struck by rocks during the incident, according to officials. But Abraham alleges more than 40 cars were hit.
Moncada was being held on $100,000 bail, inmate records show.
