Three police officers were seriously injured while arresting a suspect in north Charlotte at about noon Friday, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The suspect was also injured, police said. None of the injuries are life-threatening, according to CMPD.
Police said they do not have an update on the specific conditions for the officers as they are still getting checked out at a hospital.
"We do know that one female officer was pinned down and strangled," police said. "Another officer received a laceration to his head, and the other officer received an injury to his eye."
The incident happened on the 9800 block of Spring Park Drive, a suburban neighborhood near the intersection of Interstate 77 and Interstate 485, CMPD said.
It started at 11:55 a.m. when police got a call about a suspicious person at a home, police said. When officers got to the house, the suspect said he lived there, CMPD said. But, police said, the officers figured out the suspect did not, in fact, live there but had broken into the home.
CMPD said the suspect went back inside the house and the officers followed, where "violent confrontation ensued" as they tried to arrest the person.
More police arrived on the scene and they were able to get the suspect under control, the department said.
The three officers and the suspect were to the hospital, police said. CMPD did not identify the officers or the suspect.
