A 44-YEAR-old Quinton man has been arrested for assaulting three police officers after a domestic incident yesterday morning (Monday, January 22).

Officers were sent to Hollybush Grove following reports of a man assaulting a woman and smashing up a property on the road.

They arrived at the scene just after 10am to find the man had left the location, but he soon returned and attacked the three officers.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “The officers sustained minor injuries to their arms and hands and one officer was hit in the head.

“The man was subsequently arrested for three counts of assaulting a police officer, one count of assault on a woman and criminal damage.”

He remains in police custody this morning (Tuesday, January 23).
