ST. JOHN’S, N.L. –
Police in Newfoundland say patrol officers were assaulted Thursday by a “very irate male” wielding a block of cheese.
A media release from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says the incident occurred when officers responded to a disturbance at a residence in central St. John’s, N.L., at around 9 p.m.
The release says they encountered an angry man who then assaulted the officers with “a block of cheese.”
Police say they arrested the man, and charged him with assault, assaulting a police officer and breach of probation.
He was taken to a lockup facility in St. John’s to await a court appearance.
The RNC did not say if the officers were injured or what kind of cheese was used.
