2 Officers Assaulted During Call In South Baltimore, Police Say
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Two Baltimore City Police officers were assaulted Tuesday afternoon during a call, according to police.
Police were called shortly after 4 p.m. to the area of W. Patapsco Avenue and Hollins Ferry Road.
When officers arrived, they found a man standing in the street. The responding officer made contact with the man, and at some point, was bitten several times on the arm.
A second responding officer was also assaulted and elbowed in the eye, police said.
Both officers' injuries were non-life-threatening.
Two suspects were taken into custody. Police said it's unclear if those two people are adults or minors because they are not cooperating.
Neighbors told WJZ there was a lot of commotion at the time of the incident.
"We were walking down the street and I saw from a distance cop cars and what looked to be an ambulance," a resident said. "I'm not sure if there was a firetruck or not, but they were all across here."
There is no word on charges at this time.
