The incident occurred just after midnight yesterday at the junction of Manse and Middle Roads, Paget.

Police spokeswoman Sgt. Roseanda Jones said the man was attacked after stopping a car driver for suspected impaired driving.

The officer was set upon by the driver and passenger, who beat him with their hands and feet, Sgt. Jones added.

Two St. George's men, aged 27 and 32, have been arrested and will be appearing in court later.

In a separate incident, a 75-year-old woman received cuts to her knee and hand after she was pushed to the ground and robbed of her handbag around 3 p.m. on Thursday as she was walking on Orchard Grove in Pembroke.

Though injured, the woman refused medical treatment. The thief, who was also walking, snatched the purse containing personal items and a small amount of cash. Another man chased the thief but was unable to catch him.

Police are seeking the public's assistance to locate the culprit who is described as having a light brown complexion and stocky build. He was wearing a white shirt and green trousers.
