A Portmore, St Catherine truck driver has been charged after allegedly biting a police officer during an arrest over a traffic offence in Kingston.
Forty-two-year-old Glenroy Williams is charged with unlawful wounding, resisting arrest, and assaulting a constable.
Reports from the Central police are that around midday on Friday, September 5, Williams was observed by officers committing breaches of the Road Traffic Act.

He was eventually subdued and taken into custody, where he was later charged.
His court date is being finalised.
