The report said Jardines, of Palmetto Bay, was at the intersection of Southwest 42nd Avenue and Southwest 9th Street when he went to his Porsche and grabbed the metal bat and swung it at the truck's front windshield.

Cellphone footage from a witness showed Jardines hitting the truck before officers arrived and took him into custody.

No firefighters were injured but it cost more than $4,000 to fix the windshield, the report said.
