Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer – 8700 Block of S. Claiborne

On Friday, 07/04/08, at approximately 12:44 pm, Officers were
dispatched to S. Claiborne and Eagle Streets to investigate a
suspicious person who fit the description of an armed robber. The
description was given to the responding officers as a black male, long
dreads, dark complexion, white t-shirt and black jeans. The robbery
was reported to have occurred on 07/04/08, at approximately 2:00 am in
the 8800 block of S. Claiborne Avenue.

As officers arrived on the scene the suspect fled on foot towards the
rear of 2417 Eagle. Officers attempted to apprehend the suspect in
the rear yard; however, as the officer attempted to handcuff the
suspect he became violent and began punching the officer in the head.
The subject made good his escape fleeing into an unoccupied residence
located in the 8800 S. Claiborne. Additional Second District officers
arrived on the scene and rendered aid to the injured officer, while
simultaneously securing the building in which the suspect had forced
his way into.
Assisted by officers from the N.O.P.D. K-9 unit the suspect was
flushed from the building, through the roof, where he was apprehended
without further incident.

The injured officer was transported to Tulane Emergency room where he
was treated for injuries sustained in the incident and released.
