Late Sunday evening LPD officers responded to reports of someone yelling and screaming in the 3200 block of Holdrege.

When officers arrived, they heard a man screaming from inside an apartment and heard glass breaking and what sounded like items being thrown around the apartment.

Emre Karahan

As officers tried to make contact, 28-year old Emre Karahan came to the door and pushed one officer back before striking another officer in the face with a closed fist. The officer suffered lacerations and pain to his face that did not require medical attention.   

Officers took Karahan into custody and determined that he needed medical attention as drugs appeared to be a factor.

Karahan was treated and released from the hospital and then transported to the jail.  He is charged with Assault on a Police officer.
