A Cambridge, Massachusetts, woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly throwing bricks at parked police cars in Boston last week.

Boston police said they arrested Christine Ann Oliveira, 46, of Cambridge, shortly after 1 p.m. Friday on charges of vandalism.

Police said the incident began when officers learned that a woman outside the downtown Boston police station was throwing unknown objects at parked police cars.
