Man bites hand of policeman in drunken rage

A

jobless man has been jailed for three months for cursing two policemen and biting the hand of one of them while resisting arrest.

A taxi driver, in March, called the police to report that a Spanish man, 21, had assaulted him. A police patrol that was dispatched found the Spanish defendant to be drunk. As a policeman tried to handcuff him, the defendant assaulted him and bit his hand before another policeman restrained him. The Spanish man resisted arrest ferociously, cursing the arresting officers. (Staff Report)
