SOMERSET, NJ — A Somerset man was indicted on charges after he yelled and cursed at police and tried to kick out the window of a police car, authorities said.

Daniel McDonald, 25, of Somerset was indicted for one count of first-degree bias intimidation, one count of second-degree bias intimidation, and two counts of making terroristic threats in the third degree, Middlesex County Acting Prosecutor Christopher L. C. Kuberiet said.
