Victoria Police are searching for a man accused of swinging a baseball bat at people in rage after being confronted for allegedly trying to enter the courtyard of a secure building.

According to police, at around 1:30 p.m. on Monday November 2, officers were called to a residential building in the 1000 block of Pandora Ave for reports of a man with a weapon.

A witness then reported that they saw the man try to enter a secure courtyard area of the same building.

When the suspect was confronted by a building resident, police say he became irate and started swinging a baseball bat at people who lived in the building.

He proceeded to hit the building with the bat and then hit another person with the bat by throwing it at them, before fleeing the scene.
