State police are investigating after someone threw a hammer through the window of a van driving south on Interstate 93 in Canton this afternoon.

Police said a dark gray Nissan pickup truck carrying two men pulled alongside the van and one of them threw the hammer, which crashed through the driver's side rear window of the van. The hammer missed the van's driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle.

No one was injured in the incident. Police said they didn't know the motive for the attack.
