While dealing with a small group of males drinking in public on Saturday night, a Nelson Police Department officer was assaulted by one of the males.
The male, identified as a 31-year-old from Chilliwack, was subsequently taken into custody and appeared in court on July 12 in Nelson Provincial Court facing charges of assaulting a police officer, causing bodily harm, and two counts of resisting arrest.
The assault was unprovoked and the injured officer suffered a broken nose and a concussion.
