A police officer was assaulted while a patrol car had a window smashed during an incident in Dunedin last night.
Police were called to a Brockville address following reports of a domestic incident about 7.10pm, Senior Sergeant Craig Brown, of Dunedin, said.
The man, described as ``highly agitated and abusive'' was found later walking down Brockville Rd.
During his arrest a police officer was kicked, while a rear passenger window of the patrol car ``had its window kicked out'', Snr Sgt Brown said.
The 23-year-old Timaru man appeared in the Dunedin District Court this morning on three charges; resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and wilful damage.
He was bailed to appear on January 6.
