A 25-year-old man has been charged after he allegedly assaulted a Queensland Police officer in Yeronga on Saturday night.
Police say they were initially called to a Park Road address at around 5.50pm, following reports of a disturbance involving a male resident.
“Upon arrival, a man was located armed with a piece of wood, which he is alleged to have used to threaten attending officers,” QPS said in a statement.
“The man is also alleged to have thrown the wood at officers, before climbing onto a police vehicle.
“Police, including the dog squad, made multiple attempts to engage with the man before he attempted to flee the scene on foot.”
It will be further alleged the man then assaulted a Senior Constable while resisting arrest, QPS stated.
The Senior Constable was transported to hospital with injuries and has since been released.
The 25-year-old Rochedale South man was arrested and charged with one count each of serious assault police officer causing bodily harm whilst armed with a weapon and serious assault police officer causing bodily harm.
He is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
