'This was a random person in the park who went out of their way to disfigure another human being,' he said. He added that there was no evidence of the attack on Wasielewski being 'part of a larger pattern,' while urging locals to take care of one another. The police chief also pushed back on unfounded rumors concerning the attack. 'We understand how quickly information, speculation and worry we can spread,' he said. 'That's why we're 100 percent committed to sharing verified updates as soon as we have them and not before. Accuracy matters.'
