One police officer has been treated for a bite wound to the forearm, and another for an injury to his knee, after they tried to apprehend a 33 year old Taree woman.

Officers were first called to Victoria St in Taree at 8:00 pm (ADST) last Friday night October 11, after the woman allegedly assaulted two people inside a fast food outlet.

She fled the scene and police caught up with her on Manning St, where the first struggle took place.

Capsicum spray was used as she was fought off a number of officers, who eventually arrested her.

One officer needed treatment at Manning Base Hospital for a bite wound, and another was treated for a knee injury after a struggle at the police station.

The woman is now facing a range of charges and is due in court in November.
