Officers responded to a radio call for service of unknown trouble at the 2700 block of Nielson Way. The comments of the call indicated a male subject was bleeding from his hand and yelling for help. When officers arrived, the subject was being treated by Santa Monica Fire Paramedics. As officers were determining what occurred an additional call for service was broadcast to SMPD Units at the 2800 block of Main Street of a possible burglary with the front window being smashed. As officers spoke with the subject, they determined the subject became upset and punched the window in question causing it to shatter and injure himself. The suspect was transported to a local hospital for treatment to his injuries and released.
The subject, Carlos Herrera Alvarado, 23, was placed under arrest for vandalism and transported to SMPD Jail for booking. Bail was set at $20,000.
