A Columbus police officer was treated after he chewed on glass that was discovered inside a sandwich he was eating.

The officer, who has not been named, was eating at the Lincoln Cafe on East Long Street on Monday when he “heard a crunch” as he bit into the sandwich, according to police. The officer then noticed his mouth was bleeding and found a piece of glass.

The officer drove himself to Grant Medical Center where tests were performed.

The Operational Manager at Lincoln Cafe tells 10TV the business has a long history with police and has not had any similar events in the past.

Meanwhile, Columbus Public Health has visited the cafe and will release a report Tuesday afternoon.

Just before noon Tuesday, Columbus police tweeted there is no reason to believe the incident was intentional.

FYI on officer injured by glass in sandwich: At this point in the investigation there is no reason to believe it was intentional. #CPD — Columbus Ohio Police (@ColumbusPolice) July 19, 2016
