Nottinghamshire Police said an offender entered a property and made threats to people inside, before climbing on to a number of roofs in nearby Arundel Walk.
Tiles were thrown and damaged two marked police vehicles and a member of the public's car, while a police officer was hit in the chest "by one of the projectiles".
