Hoboken Police Officer Assaulted with Beer Can

Hoboken police are planning to arrest a 27-year-old who threw a full beer can at an officer on Friday night.

Around 10 p.m. at 655 Sixth St., the Hobokenite received a summons from an officer for an open container of alcohol.

"Oh great, the cops," the man said as officers appeared, "I better dump my beer."

He then allegedly took the can and threw it at the officers, police said. 

"Beer splashed all over," according to the report. At this point, officers told the man he was under arrest.

The 27-year-old, however, was able to run away and flee the scene without getting arrested.

Because the police know who the man is, he was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. In January he had been arrested for defiant trespassing in the Hoboken Housing Authority.
