A 19-year-old Bodden Town man is facing assault charges after an altercation with a police officer last week at a local service station.
The man has been formally charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, assaulting police and theft.
He is expected to appear in court on Monday, 16 Jan.
The man, police said, was arrested at about 4:30pm last Thursday in relation to the incident and remained in custody as investigations continued.
Police said shortly before 2:30pm on Wednesday, 11 Jan., officers responded to a report of an assault at a service station on Walkers Road.
An off-duty police officer in full uniform had been at the service station when he was approached by a man known to him who made threats against him and assaulted him. A struggle ensued and the man then fled the location.
The officer received minor injuries, attended the Cayman Islands Hospital for treatment and was subsequently discharged.
