PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man suffering a “psychotic episode” bit multiple deputies during an altercation on Saturday, according to the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office.
Officials say that after he kicked his mom, the 27-year-old man was “high on drugs” and cutting trees down with a chainsaw at a property where he wasn’t allowed.
“Two deputies made contact with the shirtless, shorts-wearing subject in the woods and attempted to talk to him about getting some mental health help. The subject began talking incoherently. When the subject made a quick move to pick up a chainsaw, the deputies, concerned about their and others’ safety, stopped him,” KCSO said. “The suspect fought with the deputies. Deputies were fighting and rolling on the ground with the suspect, who was very combative, attempting to secure him. The suspect bit two deputies and spit in their faces during the fight.”
Law enforcement was eventually able to secure the suspect, who was taken to a local hospital with hand and leg restraints in an ambulance. He is currently facing several charges, but was not identified by officials.
The injured deputies were treated at the hospital and then released.
