West Haven police arrested a New Haven man accused of getting violent when a resident refused to give him a coat before dawn this morning, police said.
Police said Christopher Norris, 48, knocked on the door of a house, said he was homeless and asked for a coat. When the homeowner told Norris to leave, he grabbed a cinder block and threw it at the resident’s vehicle, causing extensive damage, police said.
As police responded to the scene at 12:45 a.m., Norris threw several rocks at the cruisers, police said.
Norris was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, breach of peace and assault on public safety personnel.
Norris is being held on bond and is due in court in Milford today.
