A coping stone was thrown through the windscreen from a bridge
A man threw a stone slab through a police car's windscreen as officers responded to a 999 call.
Jason Gamble, 45, of Harnall Lane West in Coventry, threw the missile from a bridge on Ringway St Patrick's in the city on 15 February.
It landed in the back of the car, and two officers suffered minor injuries.
Gamble was found guilty of damaging property with intent to endanger life at Warwick Crown Court and will be sentenced on 11 December.
Det Insp Stuart Bell, from West Midlands Police, said: "Gamble's reckless actions showed no regard for their safety or that of any potential victims in the incident they were responding to."
