Man Arrested For Assaulting Three Police Officers
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information after three police officers were assaulted as they responded to an incident in south Belfast.
The officers were attending the scene of an altercation in the Botanic Avenue area at around 11:40 pm on Thursday, 06 July. As the officers attempted to arrest a 30-year-old man in connection with the incident, the suspect bit one police officer and assaulted two others. The man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of common assault, disorderly behaviour and assault on police.
The officers are said to have sustained minor injuries.
PSNI Inspector Bell said that all assaults and attacks on police officers are totally unacceptable: "Our officers are working night and day to protect the public and the communities that they serve. Assaults should not be tolerated in any instance but they will not deter our officers from continuing their work every day to keep people safe."
