About 60 protesters took to the streets of Capitol Hill Saturday night, throwing rocks and breaking windows in another series of demonstrations following the decision in Ferguson, Mo. not to charge a police officer in the shooting of a teen.

The Seattle Police Department reports demonstrators threw rocks through the window of the Ferrari dealership at the corner of 12th and Union and smashed the window of a police vehicle.

Police say around 11 p.m. one demonstrator threw paint at the police vehicle while another hurled a rock through the window, hitting the officer driving in the face.

The officer was treated by medics for minor injuries.

Officers stopped the protesters at 12 Ave and Pike Street as they tried to march on the East precinct.

Police were unable to locate the individuals responsible for the damage and the protesters eventually broke up into smaller groups and finally dispersed a short while later. No arrests were made.
