The man can be seen approaching the bar, picking up a chair from an outside table, slinging it at a window and running off. On Monday, the window is boarded u, with the glass sitting in a box as the hole awaits repair.
Owner Larry Mongo told CBS News Detroit he believes the individual who broke the window had pent-up anger.
"What did he do with his anger? He said I'm going to make someone else as sad as I am," Mongo said.
Police did not release the suspect's name or the motive.
