Man charged for smashing windshield of London police cruiser

A 22-year-old man is accused of damaging a London police cruiser with a brick.

Officers responding to a call in the area of Clarendon Crescent and Upper Queen Street around 4 p.m. on Saturday were met by an unknown man. When officers asked the man to leave the property, he allegedly picked up a garden stone and threw it at one of the cruisers.

The rock caused "extensive damage to the windshield," police said. They estimated it will cost approximately $2,000 to fix.

Further investigation found the man had previously been involved in a separate disturbance.

A London man has been charged with two counts of mischief under $5,000 and one count of resisting arrest. He is scheduled to appear in London court on June 13.
