After calling police to complain about a dog attacking people at a nearby park, a Dunedin woman allegedly assaulted attending police officers. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said the 48-year-old already had a warrant for her arrest when she called police to her central Dunedin home at 3.15pm yesterday. ‘‘There was no nearby park and no dog,’’ Snr Sgt Bond said. The woman took exception to being arrested for the prior warrant for another assault matter, and threw kicks and punches at officers when they attempted to restrain her. She was arrested and will appear in the Dunedin District Court, on charges of assaulting police, resisting police and indecent assault of a female police officer.
