It depends if the path is enclosed (like a tube) or open, assuming that you are talking about a monster rampaging through a city or something similar I think it is "On its path" to that. ON is used to denote a position for surfaces, in the situation of a city the path would be along the surface (of the ground). However you could also say that the objects are contained within the path.
