Threw Lumps of Iron and Stones At Cars
STRANGER ARRESTED WOMAN CUT BY MISSILE Press Association PALMERSTON N., To-day. Taking up .a position on the side of the main highway near Whakarongo yesterday, a man of strange demeanour is alleged to have bombarded cars with stones and other dangerous missiles. Some cars got past safely, but two suffered damage. In one instance a bag of stones was hurled through the windscreen, the driver having a lucky escape. In another case a lump of iron penetrated the side curtains and a woman passenger was cut. The police were sent for, and after manoeuvring the man, who still held a piece of iron, into a safe position, effected his arrest. As a sequel to these incidents, George Henry Harper, a labourer aged 47, of no fixed abode, appeared at the Police Court this morning and was remanded on charges of committing damage.
