Police have warned that a brick thrown from a bridge over a busy road in Maldon could have had serious consequences.

The brick was thrown on to the A414 bypass in the town, and smashed the windscreen of a Vauxhall Combo van, causing £160 of damage.

The driver luckily escaped with no injuries, but crime reduction officer Ray Stannar said he could not overemphasise how serious the incident, which happened at 1.45pm on Friday, was.
