Woman arrested for throwing brick at Boston police cruiser – NBC Boston

A Cambridge, Massachusetts woman faces multiple charges after she allegedly threw bricks at parked Boston police patrol cars last week.

Boston police said they arrested Christine Ann Oliveira, 46, of Cambridge, on charges of vandalism shortly after 1 p.m. Friday.

According to police, the incident began when officers became aware of a woman throwing unknown objects at parked patrol cars outside the district station in downtown Boston. As officers left the station, they saw a woman holding a brick in her right hand. They ordered her to drop it, but she refused.

After repeated requests, the woman, later identified as Oliveira, dropped the brick and was handcuffed. She became combative and kicked two officers, police said. Officers later observed damage and broken windows on two unmarked Boston police vehicles.

Oliveira was arrested and charged with malicious damage to property valued over $1,200, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault on a police officer. She was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.

The police did not provide any information about the bail amount.
