Surveillance cameras rolled as a man rode his bike up to the front of the Sephardic Jewish Center in North Miami Beach early Wednesday morning with a large rock in his hand and an act of violence in his heart.

Video shows him wind up like he was pitching in the big leagues and sling it at the front door. After his third try, the glass door shattered.

Content with the damage, the man never walks inside, police said. He casually turns around, grabs his bike and rides off.

Members at the Jewish center declined to talk on camera but told CBS4's Silva Harapetian that they still hold no grudges against the man.

Authorities are asking anyone who recognizes him to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.
