The spokesperson said the assailant subsequently fled the location on foot and was apprehended in front of 226 West 238th Street. “While officers were attempting to place the individual under arrest, he resisted arrest and punched a 28-year-old male police officer in the head,” the spokesperson added. “As a result, the officer sustained lacerations to his right hand and suffered pain to his left knee and right elbow.”
