DESPERATE CHARACTERS.
Police Resisted. Dunedin, June 19. Two men, who violently resisted the police when being arrested, were brought before the Court this morning. One powerfullybuilt man, after being handcuffed yesterday morning in Manor place, on a charge of stealing a bridle from his employer, viciously kicked a constable twice in the abdomen, inflicting painful injuries. The second man did more damage. He was roused out of a drunken sleep in George street between the hours of 1 and 2 this morning, and was only conveyed to the police station when four constables were summoned. On the way thither he contrived to wrench a waterproof cape from the back of one officer, tearing it in half and he so struggled and twisted that another policeman was thrown on his back in the mud, whereupon the captive screwed his heel on the policeman’s mouth, knocking out a front tooth and loosening four others, besides inflicting cevere outward bruises.
