A man accused of attacking a Cincinnati police officer early Thursday was being held at a local hospital for observation because officials suspect he was under the influence of an unknown substance.

Steven Tyler Manning resisted arrest and was “tased," but still struggled with the officer, and the officer went through a window, said police spokesman Lt. Steve Saunders.

“We just felt like he was on something when this was happening,” Saunders said.

Officer Tyler Lane suffered a cut to his forehead that required about a dozen stitches, he said.

At about 3:20 a.m., Lane responded to the home in the 7200 block of Vine Street for a report that a man had broken into the home and was assaulting a resident.

Manning, 30, faces charges of aggravated burglary, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. He is expected to be arraigned Friday in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
