He is also facing charges for dangerous driving and driving without a valid licence.
SINGAPORE – A man is due to be charged in court on July 26 after he allegedly bit a police officer who was trying to detain him, the police said in a statement on July 25.
The police said that the man was driving a van and had failed to stop for checks in Java Road at about 1.40pm on July 24, despite being directed by traffic police officers to do so. The police officers chased after and stopped him in Lorong 9 Geylang, and one of them was bitten on the left forearm while they were trying to detain him. The man was subsequently arrested.
Traffic Police commander Daniel Tan said the motorist showed “a blatant disregard” for the law by attacking and injuring the police officers who were doing their work.
