Syracuse, N.Y. -- A Syracuse man on a skateboard was arrested Wednesday after he gave the middle finger to a police car on Cannon Street, according to a Syracuse Police Department report.

Marquin D. Hicks, 24, of 150 Forest Ave., was accused of violating section 16-14.1(3) of the city's general ordinance policy, which states that skateboards must be "operated in a careful and prudent manner and not ... cause interference with the proper use of any public way."

"The defendant's above actions did interfere with vehicular traffic within the street," the police report states.

Hicks was arrested at 12:04 p.m. on the 300 block of Cannon Street. Police say he stuck both middle fingers up at the marked police car as he passed on his skateboard.

Hicks was scheduled to appear in city court on Thursday.
