A WOMAN allegedly throwing rocks at cars in Highgate will undergo a mental health assessment before facing court on disorderly conduct and damages charges.
A BMW driver swerved on busy Lord Street Wednesday morning when a rock smashed into his passenger door. After stopping he spotted a woman nearby and alerted police.
The man then followed her for 45 minutes as she walked towards Maylands, allegedly throwing more rocks at parked cars, yelling abuse at pedestrians, wandering into the path of traffic and making rude gestures and swearing.
Police officer Dave Whitnell says the woman was arrested near The Rise in Maylands.
“Her backpack was searched and rocks were located inside,” he says.
Mr Whitnell commended the BMW driver, saying he may have helped avert serious injury to someone.
