Berkeley Police officers arrested two men after they allegedly hurled glass bottles at a police officer and shouted insults at him Friday night, authorities said.
Berkeley Police Lt. Dave Frankel said an officer who parked near Strawberry Creek Park on Friday Feb. 21 at 9:50 p.m. heard loud voices coming from the basketball courts and went to check it out.
The officer parked near 1326 Allston Way, at the Berkeley Corporation Yard, and saw two men walking south on the basketball courts while looking toward him, said Frankel, via email.
The men then threw glass bottles over a fence at the officer and shouted “F*ck the police!” Frankel said. The bottles landed 15-20 feet from where the officer was standing.(...)
