Person questioned for throwing rocks in Loop after reports of smashed car windows

Police are questioning a person spotted throwing rocks in the Loop Thursday in the wake of dozens of cars being vandalized in Loop parking garages earlier in the week.

Police were called at 10:28 a.m. for reports of "a male subject throwing rocks" in the first block of South Wells Street, according to Chicago police. It was not immediately clear if he was throwing the rocks at vehicles or whether the incident took place inside a garage.

Officers found him in the 800 block of South Wells and took him into custody for questioning, police said.

Authorities said it's too early to say whether the case is connected to a series of similar incidents in which rocks were thrown through car windows earlier this week at Loop parking garages.
