Kingston police are continuing an investigation into an incident that happened during St. Patrick’s Day parties in the University District Saturday.

A police officer was injured while attempting to make an arrest when a container of alcohol was thrown at the officer’s head.

Police say that moments before the container was thrown, the officer was struggling to arrest a man when a magazine full of ammunition became dislodged and fell to the pavement, at which point a female partygoer quickly grabbed it and walked away with it.
