Overview
- Police say officers found a shirtless man on top of a Waymo in the middle of the Sunset and Edgemont intersection and arrested him for vandalism after traffic stopped.
- Citizen App video circulated showing the man on the vehicle’s windshield holding a bent wiper and shouting at a sensor on the roof while he damaged the car.
- Reports do not confirm whether anyone was inside the Waymo when the attack began and coverage did not identify any injured occupants.
- The East Hollywood arrest follows other recent Los Angeles episodes involving teens misusing Waymo vehicles, including a reported joyride where Waymo called police for underage drinking and toy-gun firing.
- The incidents together have focused attention on how Waymo monitors rides, when remote staff or police are summoned, and whether current rules and enforcement are adequate to protect riders and road users; no broad public statement from Waymo was reported in this coverage.
