Columbus police officials say the glass in a sandwich an officer bit into this week was not placed there intentionally. Officer Quoc Nguyen took multiple bites of a sandwich while eating at Zanzibar Brews, 740 East Long St., on the Near East Side about 2:40 p.m. on Monday. The sandwich was a Reuben, according to Columbus Public Health, which sent inspectors to the restaurant on Tuesday. Small pieces of broken glass were found below a drying rack after an inspector saw several glass plates with chips on their rims. Nguyen, who noticed the glass after bleeding from his mouth, was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, where he was hospitalized. He later was released and is recovering, according to police.
