Man in creepy doll mask who has terrified Philadelphians may be headed to LA, police say
- Police identified 22-year-old Zymire Hughes as the masked man who harassed approximately 15 people in Center City last week, issuing an active arrest warrant on Thursday for the suspect.
- Surveillance footage from August 12 shows Hughes approaching pedestrians near 15th Street and JFK Boulevard wearing a Halloween mask styled after the character Chucky from the 1988 horror film Child's Play, causing one woman to stumble and sustain injury.
- Jameka Wilson, a 25-year-old actor, utilized stage combat training to kick the suspect during his chase, later becoming a local celebrity after sharing her experience on the Watch Out Philly Instagram page.
- Investigators are working with the U.S. Marshals Service to locate Hughes, who may have fled Pennsylvania given his ties to California and Nevada after removing his disguise at Suburban Station.
- Hughes faces felony and misdemeanor charges for assault, and officials warn the public not to approach him; anyone with information should call 911 or the police tip line at 686-8477.
