A man reportedly threw rocks at the designer's mailbox and almost escaped falling in the hands of law enforcement.

Tina Knowles was recently the victim of a man vandalizing her Los Angeles home, TMZ reports. Moreover, Solange and Beyoncé's mother had an unwelcome visitor throwing rocks at her mailbox last Saturday (April 1), damaging her property and causing a disturbance. When the Los Angeles Police department got a call about the disturbance, they rushed to the designer's home to respond to the incident. However, the suspect allegedly ran off on foot while being pursued by police units, including a helicopter. Eventually, they nabbed him after a foot pursuit and the suspect is now in police custody.

Furthermore, law enforcement informed the publication that the man behaved erratically during his arrest. Given that circumstance, authorities placed him on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Interestingly enough, TMZ also reported that Knowles suffered minimal damages to her mailbox, and fortunately, it seems like the rest of her property remains unscathed. Also, the part-time actress also apparently declined to press charges or even file an official police report. It seems like she let this incident brush off her shoulder, and hopefully she isn't the victim of further attacks.

Fortunately, other news surrounding Tina Knowles leaned toward much less dangerous developments as of late. For example, she recently expressed pride in her granddaughter Rumi, one of Beyoncé's children, already expressing an interest in fashion. "Rumi loves fashion," she expressed during an interview. "She picks out her own clothes. We recently went to Disneyland, and she put on her Mickey Mouse shorts. Then she wanted to put on a sparkly printed top which had the same colors. It actually looked really cute. Blue was like, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much,.' And Rumi said, ‘This is my style.’ She’s 5. I was impressed. She wore outrageous stuff, but she has an amazing sense of style. So you let them do their own thing. You can’t say, ‘No, this doesn’t go with this or that.’"

Meanwhile, the designer is often spending quality time with her grandchildren in wholesome fashion. A couple of years ago, people went crazy over Blue Ivy doing Tina's makeup. Hopefully the next headline about the Knowles matriarch involves more of that kind of content and less headlines about harassers and mailbox vandals. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tina Knowles.
