Houston officers attacked, injured following traffic stop

A Houston officer was attacked and others injured following a traffic stop in north Houston early Saturday.

The incident happened around 1 a.m. in the 4200 block of Airline near Johnston.

A Houston Police Department officer making a traffic stop got out of his cruiser and approached the driver. That's when the motorist got out of his car and attacked the officer.

After a radio call for help, multiple HPD units arrived.

The motorist was detained after being subdued by four officers, authorities said.

The man, whose name was not released, had outstanding federal warrants and now faces a new charge of felony assault of a peace officer.

Two officers were treated for minor cuts and bruises.
