A brick was thrown through the window of a police car while officers were at work.
Detectives had found a cannabis farm, on Primrose Drive, Huyton, and parked in the area, which is close to Primrose Court.
Officers found eight cannabis plants in the bedroom of a flat and found electricity had been bridged.

After returning from the cannabis farm, at around 11.20pm on Wednesday, February 16, they found a window had been smashed on their patrol car.
Primrose Court housing estate, in Knowsley, has become infamous since locals have complained it is plagued by a spate of crime and anti-social behaviour.
Most recently, footage of Primrose Court racked up more than five million views within 24 hours of being uploaded to TikTok.
The video had the caption 'Look at the f****** state of this street in Liverpool' and showed derelict homes with their windows boarded.
Speaking about the incident yesterday, which left a police car out of action, a spokesperson for the force said: "The patrol car attended a report of a cannabis farm on Primrose Drive, Huyton at around 9.50pm yesterday evening.
"The plants were seized and the electricity supply was made safe by Scottish Power. The home owner will attend a voluntary police interview.
"After dealing with this, officers made their way back to their car at around 11.20pm where they found the passenger window had been smashed meaning they were unable to continue their shift."
Community Inspector Simon Peers said: "Our job is to keep you safe and it is really upsetting to see that this is what we get in return.
"Repairing a damaged patrol car isn’t just a quick fix – this leaves us one car down meaning less officers are able to patrol the streets, help vulnerable people and respond to incidents.
"In a time where there is already a huge demand on all emergency services, it is shocking that this anti-social and careless behaviour carries on.
"Luckily the officers weren’t inside the car at the time, but they were dealing with a separate incident.
"Needless to say, this was unnecessary and shows the true nature of some people and their complete lack of respect for services who go above and beyond to keep them safe."
