GARFIELD, N.J. — Police say they’ve arrested a New Jersey teenager for allegedly throwing a glass bottle at a fire truck on its way to a call, smashing a window and injuring a firefighter inside.
Garfield detectives, with the assistance of school resource officers, arrested a 16-year-old boy in the March 28 incident, police say.
The boy, who’s not being named because of his age, was charged with aggravated assault violations. The injured volunteer firefighter, Vicky Kovacs, 22, says she was sitting in the back of Engine 2 headed to a job last Friday night when someone hurled a glass soda bottle at the truck, smashing a back window and sending glass flying into her face and eyes.
