Woman hit by tile thrown by man ‘acting erratically’ on roof
A woman was hit in the head by a tile after a man climbed on a roof and began throwing them.
Police[1] were called to Cassino Road, Huyton[2], to reports of concerns for safety at around 4.50pm on Monday, September 11. At the scene they found a man, in his 20s, was acting erratically on a roof.
The suspect, who didn't have any shoes on, climbed onto the roof of a house[3] and began to throw tiles down at people. One of the tiles hit a woman, who suffered a cut to the head.
