Police who responded to a 911 call for an out of control teen at 313 Dover St. in Bridgeport on Friday ended up as victims, according to police, and the teen is being held in jail.
Collin Moore, 19, is accused of attacking two police officers at his home, hitting one in the head with a marble funeral urn over and over again until he fell down the stairs, police said. Then, Moore’s dog bit the other officer.
When officers arrived at Moore’s house on Friday, they went upstairs and encountered Moore, who emerged from a bedroom naked, and struck one officer repeatedly with a marble urn, police said.
The second officer suffered puncture wounds to his leg after he was bitten by a dog.
Moore was taken to Bridgeport Hospital for evaluation.
As he was being discharged, the officer who was guarding him had to remove his shackles so he could dress. When she did, Moore suddenly attacked her, police said.
Moore and the officer wrestled to the ground, where Moore tugged repeatedly at the officer’s service weapon, police said.
The officer rolled over onto her right side to prevent Moore from grabbing her gun and defended herself, striking Moore several times in the face, police said.
During the struggle, Moore bit the officers in the face and called out that he “got the gun.”
When the officer yelled that Moore did not have a gun, security went into the room and got Moore under control, police said. The officer was treated for her injuries.
Moore faces a range of charges, including three counts of assault on a police officer. He remained jailed Thursday on $180,000 bond.
