ESCONDIDO (CNS) - Escondido police Saturday arrested a man after he allegedly jumped on top of a patrol car and began striking it with a rock. At about 9:45 a.m., a patrol sergeant pulled up to the intersection of Washington Avenue and Quince Street when he witnessed a man run up to his patrol SUV, jump onto the back and begin smacking a rock onto the vehicle's roof, Escondido Police Sgt.
