Tyron Brooks (Denver Police Department)

A 48-year-old man in Colorado allegedly bit off a police officer’s finger and spit it back out as authorities were attempting to arrest him over the weekend.

Tyron Brooks was taken into custody on Saturday and charged with one count of felony second-degree assault on a police officer, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Brooks was also charged on outstanding warrants for extortion and obstructing police.

According to a copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by Denver Fox affiliate KDVR, officers with the Denver Police Department responded to an alley at about 1 p.m. on Saturday behind The Pioneer Bar in the 2400 block of South University Boulevard near East Wesley Avenue about a domestic violence incident.

Once there, first responders said they observed a man — later identified as Brooks — who was in a “fight stance” and yelling at a “terrified” woman who appeared to be “paralyzed with fear,” police wrote, the Sacramento Bee reported. When police attempted to step in and speak to the woman, Brooks allegedly told them she “could not talk to them.”

Officers then tried to call the victim over so they could speak to her, but Brooks allegedly would not allow that to happen, Denver CBS affiliate KCNC reported. When they asked if she needed assistance, Brooks reportedly forcefully placed his hand over her mouth to prevent her from responding.

The officers then decided they had to detain Brooks for the safety of the woman and tried to place him under arrest.
