On Friday, July 25, 2025, at approximately 4 p.m., police responded to the area of Grierson Hill and the 100 Street Funicular for reports of individuals throwing objects off a pedestrian bridge and into oncoming traffic. A 41-year-old male driver whose windshield was smashed, stopped and got out of their vehicle, and detained two youth until police arrived.
Upon police arrival, a 14-year-old male and a 13-year-old female were arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and mischief.
“The youths were charged given the extremely dangerous nature of throwing bricks and rocks at passing vehicles,” says Acting Staff Sergeant Bryan Langevin of EPS’s Downtown Branch. “We believe there may be witnesses or other vehicles that passed through the area that were also hit. If that’s the case, please come forward and let us know.”
Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed this or had their vehicle hit during this incident on Grierson Hill between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on July 25, 2025, to please contact them immediately.
