The man approached Wilmslow Police Station on Hawthorn Street at 7.30pm last Wednesday. A force spokesperson said: 'The man then proceeded to aggressively hit the window, resulting in it cracking. Officers exited the building to confront the man, who was seen hurling abuse at them from a distance. He then fled across a a nearby car park. 'A search of the area was conducted, but the man could not be found. However, officers did also find that a security gate into the station itself has also been damaged. The man was described as being white, wearing a light grey Berghaus jacket and dark blue jogging bottoms. 'Officers are now appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at around the time of the incident, or captured the man in question on any CCTV or dash cams, to get in touch.'
