Man Slaps Cop, Bites His Finger After Being Asked To Show Vehicle Documents

A man was taken into custody in India Wednesday for allegedly slapping a traffic cop and biting his finger after the officer asked him to show his vehicle documents.

The incident took place in the Rohini area of the Indian capital New Delhi. The man, identified as 30-year-old Piyush Bansal from an upscale residential area called Pitampura, was accused of assaulting the assistant sub-inspector of the Delhi Traffic Police, reported The New Indian Express.

Deputies said Thursday the traffic police personnel pulled Bansal over and asked him to present his vehicle documents. However, instead of cooperating, the man got infuriated and got into a heated argument with the officer, according to The Hindu First.

A senior police officer told the outlet Bansal first slapped the assistant sub-inspector. The man then bit the cop's finger.

A case has already been filed against the man at the nearby KN Katju Marg police station under relevant sections. He is still in police custody.

In June, two women and a man were charged in Aurora, Illinois for allegedly attacking a police officer who pulled them over during a traffic stop. The suspects, identified as Jennifer Taylor, 24, Sheba Taylor, 26, and Paul Sherrod, 28, were charged with aggravated battery resisting or obstructing a police officer causing injury and aggravated assault of a peace officer. According to Aurora police, an altercation ensued after the cop pulled over the three suspects' vehicle and the man started yelling profanities out of his car's window. At some point, the two women began attacking the officer, with one of them placing her forearm "around the officer's neck" and applying significant force against his windpipe, therefore keeping him from breathing. Additional police officers were deployed to the scene to arrest the three suspects while the attacked cop was brought to a hospital in the area.
