Skateboarder's rage
South Canterbury | Monday, 16 February 2009
A LONE police officer had her patrol car windscreen smashed by an angry 12-year-old boy wielding a skateboard at Caroline Bay on Saturday.
The constable was at the skatepark on Caroline Bay responding to complaints from the public about a group of young boys, aged about 12, who were causing problems in the area on Saturday afternoon.
She took one of the boys home because of his behaviour, and then returned to the skatepark to ensure that the rest of the group were behaving.
Acting sergeant Greg Sutherland said one 12-year-old in the group gave the constable the fingers and was using offensive language to her, so while sitting in the patrol car, she beckoned him to come to her.
"He walked toward the patrol car, got to the passenger side, and used his skateboard to smash the windscreen on the passenger side three times."
Mr Sutherland said the boy was arrested and would be dealt with by Youth Aid on charges of wilful damage and disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence.
When asked why he had smashed the windscreen, the boy said he thought the constable had taken his cousin into custody, so he was upset.

I'm really glad the little shite wasn't shot dead.
