The driver that was stopped- a 21-year-old male- got out of his car and proceeded to assault the 36-year-old LPD officer.
An "assist-the-officer" call went out- as the suspect tried to run away.
The suspect didn't make it very far- was captured and subdued with chemical spray by other officers.
The suspect was taken to a Topeka hospital- under arrest and accompanied by other officers- for treatment of the spray and other injuries.
The Lawrence officer was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of a number of injuries- albeit not life-threatening- suffered when the suspect attacked him.
I thank the most-diligent Shawnee KS monitor "Operation100" for his assistance in gathering information on this incident.
