2 Officers Injured In Scuffle During Nassau Man's Arrest: Police

UNIONDALE, NY — Two officers were injured Sunday morning in a struggle with an arrestee in Uniondale, Nassau police said.

First Precinct officers responded to an Argyle Avenue home for a disturbance just after 8 a.m., police said, adding that they determined the two males who live there had been involved in an argument.

Greer Jones, 35, yelled at officers and tried to leave the scene, police said.

He then pushed an officer, and a struggle ensued with Jones becoming violent and combative, and officers sustaining injuries during his arrest, according to police. Two officers were taken to local area hospitals for treatment of injuries, though no one else was injured, police said.

Jones is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, obstructing governmental administration, and resisting arrest. He was scheduled for arraignment on Monday at First District Court in Hempstead.
