Police officers in Salisbury are appealing for information on the incident, which happened at just before 9pm, on Wednesday 8 November, on Portway.

A 17-year-old man was driving a red Nissan Micra along the road at the junction with Partidge Way, when a stone smashed through the offside passenger window, landing in the passenger’s lap – a 49-year-old man.

The window was completely smashed, and the driver and passenger sustained minor cuts

Special Police Constable Michael Wells said: “It is believed that this stone has come from a catapult as the force caused the entire window to smash.
