tire slashing

Sidewall knife attack

Tire slashing is the act of deliberately cutting or puncturing vehicle tires, typically with a knife or other sharp object.

It's usually done as vandalism, revenge, or intimidation: Someone slashed all four tires on his car overnight.

The damage is costly since slashed tires generally can't be repaired and must be replaced.
