A teenager allegedly bit a police officer while barricading herself in a hospital bathroom after her arrest.

Police arrested a 17-year-old female who was wanted on several arrest warrants while they were on the 700 block of Pacific Avenue on an unrelated matter at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

“The suspect was intoxicated and transported to hospital in stable condition for medical assessment,” the WPS said Tuesday.

Later, at about 11:50 p.m., the woman barricaded herself in a bathroom and bit an officer “in the lower body,” police said.

The officer suffered minor injuries but requires medical followup, the WPS said.

She was detained in custody.
