The officers were called to a home in Buff Point on the Central Coast late on Tuesday night after reports of a domestic incident.
William Peter Kershaw, 35, allegedly became increasingly violent and resisted arrest after police arrived at the scene.
โA struggle ensued when the officers attempted to arrest the man; the man allegedly spat in the male officerโs face,โ police said in a statement on Wednesday.
โThe female officer was punched in the face several times before being dragged to the ground by her hair. A clump of hair was ripped from her scalp during the arrest.
โThe female officer became increasingly distressed when she was grabbed around the neck and choked.
โThe male officer was then allegedly elbowed in the face and had his genitals twisted by the man before additional police assisted and released him.โ
Just another day at the office for our police officers.
I would take the knee for these men and women that put their safety and lives on the (blue) line to protect the general public, many of whom wish to visit violence on them.
