Late Thursday afternoon – at 4:23 p.m. – Halton Regional Police officers were called to a family disturbance at a Plains Road residence.
Once inside the residence, officers were immediately attacked by a man armed with a knife.
One officer was pushed to the ground and stabbed in the head. A second officer, while attempting to intervene, received a bite to the arm. During the melee, another family member also sustained minor injuries inflicted by the man.
The man was eventually taken into custody following a struggle and deployment of a conducted energy weapon (taser).
All involved were transported to hospital and are expected to recover from their injuries.
The 22-year-old Burlington man is currently being held for psychiatric assessment.
