Are there any injuries sustained by an off duty police officer as a result of an assault?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Michael P., In re, 50 Cal.App.4th 1525, 58 Cal.Rptr.2d 362 (Cal. App. 1996):

[50 Cal.App.4th 1530] In People v. Longoria, the officer sustained injuries the aftermath of which might not be so serious as to require medical attention--the officer was kicked in the groin and knocked to his knees. But the officer in that case testified in detail about the seriousness of the injury. The officer testified the fingers and the bottom side of his right hand were cut; one hand was crushed and, after his fall, he could not hold onto his firearm. He did not seek medical attention, but his injuries required he be placed on restrictive phone answering duty for three to five days. (People v. Longoria, supra, 34 Cal.App.4th at p. 18, 40 Cal.Rptr.2d 213.) The court in Longoria found the injury inflicted sufficient to come within Penal Code section 243, subdivision (c).
