A police officer was injured after being bitten by a prisoner during an incident at the Gray’s Farm Police Station on Tuesday evening.

Upon opening the cell to investigate, Francis attempted to step out and had to be restrained.
During the struggle, the prisoner bit the police on his left index finger, causing it to bleed. The officer was subsequently issued a police medical form to seek treatment from a doctor.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
