HARRISON TWP. (WWJ) – The search is on for a homeless Macomb County man who police say approached a pair of teenagers in a church parking lot with a bladed weapon.
Authorities are searching for 24-year-old Christian Snow, who pulled out a bladed weapon and damaged a car in the parking lot of St. Hubert’s Church on Prentiss Street in the early morning hours of April 15.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to the church that morning on the report of a “suspicious white male with a bladed weapon.”
Authorities say Snow was speaking in “a gibberish manner” to the occupants of the vehicle, both 18 years old, as he took the blade to the car and then chased them out of the parking lot on foot.
Neither teen was injured in the incident, authorities said
There was no sign of Snow when deputies arrived to the church parking lot. An investigation helped authorities identify Snow as the suspect.
Snow is diagnosed as schizophrenic and has recently made social media posts that state he will harm himself and others.
