A bus passenger received minor injuries from shattered glass amid an outbreak of Halloween egg-throwing across the Island.
Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police James Howard said that from Friday afternoon through to Sunday morning there were 23 egg-related incidents reported.
Two people received minor injuries and two properties were damaged.
On two occasions, eggs were thrown at the Police.
Six more incidents were reported that were described as Halloween-related but not egg-related.
A total of 35 people were arrested on Halloween itself for various offences four of whom are suspected egg throwers.
The Police conducted 107 stop-and-searches over the weekend and six people were detained for impaired driving.
According to Police spokesman Dwayne Caines, the Halloween-related crime statistics are "drastically lower" than for 2008.
