A 39-year-old man is under arrest after he assaulted police officers and broke one’s hand inside the Sliema police station on Friday night.

In a statement, the police said the man stormed into the police station and began yelling and banging on Perspex as officers were speaking to one of his relatives about a dangerous driving report.

Police warned him to calm down but the man, a Maltese national, did not obey.

Instead, he is alleged to have shoved a police officer against the wall and subsequently resisted arrest.

One officer was grievously injured while two others were slightly injured in the struggle.

The man is to be charged in court in the coming days. Magistrate Antoine Agius Bonnici is leading an inquiry into the incident.
