A Lexus-riding vandal smashed up 11 police cruisers parked outside the NYPD’s newest station house in Queens, cops said on Tuesday.
The still-at-large vandal used an “unknown” object to deface five marked and six unmarked NYPD vehicles near the 116th Precinct headquarters in Rosedale around 11:20 p.m. on Monday — then drove off in a luxury getaway car, according to police.
He damaged the tires of seven vehicles and wrecked the windshields of four others – causing an airbag to deploy on one, which also had driver’s side mirror damage, cops said.
