AIBU? Please no nastiness :(

NDN, middle aged woman with a teenage son. He's outside all hours of the day smoking marijuana, loud music, friends round etc. We've had our french doors open due to the hot weather, as we are entitled. The smell of weed floods our house!! Completely. It's sickening. Even my 5 year old has to go into her room to evade.
Anyway, we were having a BBQ (just myself, husband and 2 children) when NDN comes out complaining that the smoke is getting on her washing. I politely explained that this could not easily be helped. She proper reared up. Shouting and screaming at me. (I'd just finished a 13 hour nursing shift) I just didn't need it.
Her son then proceeded to chime in and call us all sorts, very explicit. My partner then went out in an attempt to fight my corner. Just then, some kind of concrete was thrown by the son straight at me, hitting me in the hand and injuring my fingers.
Being so tired I chose not to report to the police and just leave be.
Following day, visit from police community support officer. Wanted to know what happened. I explained and told them I wanted to press charges.
WIBU for reporting him? I feel kind of bad as he's a teen, but he's making our life hell!

Yanbu.

Meant to say, the son had called the police!

Yanbu. How did the police know something had occurred?

Cross post.

Yanbu at all he needs to learn that his dick head actions have consequences. I hope your hand is ok.

What the hell did the son call the police for does he not realise that he’s the one in the wrong or is the weed making the twat think he’s the victim.

you should have reported in the first place. What did the community support team say?

The son phoned the police on himself?!

Yanbu

Why would you think you were unreasonable?
He is a little prick. I hope they deal with him properly, chucking concrete at a woman? Utter dickhead
Do they rent? If so you need to find the landlords details.

They basically just wanted to know what had happened, he called the police saying we had yelled profanity, even though we had 2 children in bed and would never! Especially to a child! I think the mother was the instigator there

Eh? Of course you should report him to the police. He assaulted you. Also mention the copious use of weed. They sound awful.

Yanbu!! It's polite to tell your neighbours you're having a bbq, if they having washing out. However, I can see why you wouldn't.

I don't think anyone will be nasty to you about this OP. I hope you do press charges and also get yourself to the GP about your hand so that can be incorporated into criminal proceedings. If you have any injury to your hand and its affecting your day to day life in any way I'd also look into a claim under the criminal injuries compensation authority.

YADNBU

Hope you mentioned the weed!

YANBU. Regardless of his age he assaulted you and there should be consequences for that behaviour. Might as well mention the weed while you’re reporting it.

LOL

they're clearly not very clever. Calling the police when he's the one smoking copious amounts of weed is rather stupid.

It's just, I'm usually a very quiet person, but for the sake of my children, I don't need this to be happening

Of course yanbu. Hopefully it will teach him that actions have consequences.

Yanbu definitely follow this up. Otherwise he's just going to get worse.

YADNBU. The only thing you were unreasonable about was not calling the police on 999 when you were assaulted.

Report the little shit and make him aware that he can't launch concrete at a person and not expect consequences. What if it had hit one of your children? Are you going to have to take time off sick because of your hand injury? They sound like neighbours from hell.

What did your dog do when he threw concrete at you? Just stand there?

Fucks sake. DH! Not dog!
