A man has been jailed for throwing numerous objects at crowds which included police officers.
Ethan Miles, aged 21, was said to have taken part in violent disorder in Blackpool on August 3.
Miles, of Haig Road, Blackpool, was sentenced for his crimes at Preston Crown Court today, August 19.
The court heard that he threw objects including "chairs, bottles and cans" into crowds of people which included police officers.
He also "removed the wing mirror of a police vehicle and threw it at a police van which had officers inside".

He was then arrested for violent disorder on August 10.
Today, Miles was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment.
Assistant Chief Constable Karen Edwards, of Lancashire Constabulary said: “The behaviour that Ethan Miles showed that day was disgraceful, and I welcome the custodial sentence handed down on him today.
“He acted without care towards those around him, choosing to be violent and cause disorder in the town. His sentencing is the second of many that we expect to see over the coming weeks and months.
“Let this be a clear message to you: If you chose to commit disorder, and act violently in our communities, we will find you, and we will bring you to justice. Violent disorder is not, and never will be tolerated in Lancashire.”
