A police officer responding to a noise complaint at Tanilba Bay last night has been injured following a confrontation with a homeowner.
Around 6pm, the officer attended a property following nuisance reports when Raymond Terrace police say he started behaving aggressively.
A scuffle ensued as a member of the public assisted the officer in controlling the 38-year-old man, who was arrested and charged with multiple offences including assaulting a police officer.
The officer sustained an injury to his arm and was taken via ambulance to the John Hunter Hospital, where doctors confirmed it to be minor soft tissue damage.
The alleged offender will appear at Raymond Terrace court later this month.
