Instant karma after man shattered police car’s windscreen while on emergency call

A man who threw glass bottles at an emergency police car shattering the windscreen received instant karma after meekly admitting: ‘I don’t know why I did that.’

Footage shows Mark Fraser hurling a blue carrier bag, smashing it into the vehicle on an emergency call out in Aberdare, South Wales.

Fraser, 40, after throwing the bag of glass bottles, admits: ‘I don’t know why I did that.’

The officer replied: ‘I don’t know why you’ve done it either.

‘I’m driving down here, responding to a G1, and now I can’t because I’m dealing with you – you could have killed me, mate.’

The officer shows Fraser the damage to the car, with its entire windscreen shattered, before placing him under arrest.

South Wales Police said the incident caused around £900 of damage to the vehicle, and put the officer in harm’s way.

Fraser admitted to criminal damage by recklessly endangering life, and was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for three years.

He was also ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work and to pay over £6000 in compensation.

South Wales Police posted video of the incident on social media, adding: ‘The damage cost hundreds of pounds to fix.

‘It also shows that even as our officers put themselves in harm’s way every day, sometimes danger can come from unexpected places.’
