It's come up in a couple of threads already.

Summary:

Suspect is described as a tan white male or possibly a hispanic male in his 20s. Vehicle is a white/cream Ford bronco or pickup with/topper. Window in rear is covered with cardboard or plywood.

Was throwing chunks of concrete out of his vehicle at cyclists and one motorist. Drove erratically. 5 different victims, - a couple of whom were hurt pretty bad. Happened on a few different days in different parts of the city.

from the article- Witnesses say a man driving a white Bronco and wearing a glove hurled the concrete chunk at Jensen, according to CBS Minnesota.
I thought OJ Simpson was locked up in Nevada still...

He might just aim at the wrong person who is armed with something more deadly than concrete chunks.
