It was a rude awakening for some people in a Phoenix neighborhood after police say someone slashed several tires overnight.

It was a rude awakening for some people in a Phoenix neighborhood after police say someone slashed several tires overnight.

According to Phoenix police, a woman reported seeing a suspect slash her tires near 83rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road. As officers were investigating, additional reports were received of other tires being slashed in the same neighborhood.

"It sucks because we have to replace them, especially if you're low on money. It's just somebody being bad," said Jeff Wilson.

"Upset, disappointed. I got the tires brand new, just barely. I haven't even used the vehicle yet and they're basically brand new and there's nothing I can do," said Antonio Covarrubias. 

A witness tells FOX 10 up to three dozen tires were slashed, however, police have not released an exact number.

The suspect is described as a man in his early-20s, with a thin build and was wearing a white shirt and pants.
