Police are appealing for witnesses in relation to an incident that occurred early yesterday morning in Malak.

At about midnight the Casuarina Supervisor responded to a report that a group of youths were creating a disturbance in the vicinity of Patterson Street and Malak Crescent. The police unit patrolled the area and observed approximately 30 youths waiting for lifts home after a party at a nearby community hall.

The member patrolled the area to ensure all remained quiet and at approximately 12.15 am he observed a number of youths in the bush near Sanderson High School and stopped his vehicle.

One of the youths then allegedly threw a bottle at the police vehicle which struck the driver's side front panel. Police then saturated the area but could not locate the alleged offender who was wearing a white t-shirt and dark shorts.

The police vehicle received minor damage.

Anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident, or has information that could assist police in identifying the alleged offender, is urged to call 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
