TWO police officers have been attacked while trying to arrest a man in Ipswich General Hospital.

One officer was allegedly hit in the face and another officer was bitten on the hand and arm after a 34-year-old man caused a disturbance at the hospital last night.

The man, from Ebenezer, southwest of Ipswich, attacked the officers at around 10.30pm and will today face Ipswich Magistrates Court charged with two counts of serious assault police, three counts of obstruct police and one count of public nuisance.

Both male officers stayed at the hospital for treatment to their injuries.
