A man has been slapped with a hefty fine after urinating on a police car in Melbourne’s north.

Police were alerted to a man urinating on a vehicle in a carpark near Cooper Street in Epping about 7pm on Monday.

“A 27-year-old Lalor man was told to zip it, which offered little relief,” the spokesperson said.

The man was issued a penalty notice for behaving in a riotous, indecent, offensive or insulting manner.

“The fine slashed $790 from his bank account, really putting the ‘P’ in penalty,” the spokesperson said.
