A man has been arrested after an item was hurled through the window of a home in Wordsworth Road, Plymouth.
Police were called after reports that an item had been thrown through the window of the property in North Prospect.
A man in his 40s suffered a facial injury after being struck by a piece of glass when the window shattered. Officers arrived at the scene shortly after and located a suspect behaving aggressively further down the street.
A man in his 20s from Plymouth was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage to the property and assault by beating.
