Another Hunter police officer has been injured during an arrest.
Shortly after 1:30 this morning, Lake Macquarie Police arrested a man at a home on Shelley Street in Toronto while attending to reports of a domestic violence incident.
Police say a male senior constable suffered a laceration to his right arm while pursuing and attempting to restrain the man, who allegedly broke free and fled on foot.
The 22-year-old eventually returned to the scene and was arrested without incident.
The man was refused bail to appear at Toronto Local Court today charged with breaching AVO, resisting arrest and using carriage service to menace/harass or offend.
The police officer was taken to the John Hunter Hospital for treatment and has since been released.
Last week saw two police officers allegedly attacked in separate incidents at Raymond Terrace.
