The NYPD released images of the suspect behind the dangerous stunt, which occurred at about 2 a.m. on March 16 at the 39th Avenue overpass above the Clearview Expressway in Bayside.

Law enforcement sources said the miscreant tossed the rocks from the overpass at the passing vehicles. Ten vehicles, in all, were struck by the debris, with police reporting damages in excess of $5,000.

As shown in the images police provided, the suspect had bushy hair and wore a green t-shirt, dark-colored pants and white shoes.
