According to police, the man saw a person trying to break into the vehicle parked in the 5200 block of Rutland Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. He fired multiple shots at the man, who escaped unharmed, police said.

One person, a juvenile, was arrested, according to police. Investigators said they believe two to three other people were involved in the incident.
