A police car's windscreen was smashed by a swede that was thrown from the side of the road.

The Armed Response Vehicle (ARV) was responding to a call when the vegetable was tossed at it on Hellevoetsluis Way in Torquay, Devon.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the cost of the damage was about £500.

An officer from the ARV unit said those in the car at the time were "fine, but very annoyed", and couldn't attend the job they were called out to.
