“With” would be appropriate in that context. “To” could work too.

So there you go Diadem. You’re going to get disagreements with even one tiny word. That’s the English language for you. As I was brought up and educated in the UK and I’ve lived in the US for over 30 yrs, you can bet I’ve had disagreements with Americans or other native speakers who can make glaring mistakes with our language. In many cases it’s regional differences. Just like many languages. Personally I don’t criticize anyone that I disagree with specifically. I think that is rude and unnecessary. When it’s all said and done, it’s all down to opinions.

I agree and disagree with the person below. "On" would work in this sentence, and "to" could work sometimes; however, not in this sentence. Wreak havoc to pedestrians doesn't work. The key to this, slighly advanced quesiton, is understanding prepositions and objects. You could never do something ON a meeting, rather IN a meeting. Therefore, Wreak Havoc in the meeting, works. You can't do something IN a pedestrian, reather on a pedestrian, so wreak have on pedestrians works.

Oh really? Thank you! I don't know there are so many variations in English.
