Boy, 14, accused of biting Qld cop

A 14-year-old boy has been accused of biting a cop and using a metal pole to smash the windscreen of a police vehicle in far north Queensland.

Officers charged the teen with eight offences, including three counts of serious assault police, after an incident at the community of Aurukun on the Cape York Peninsula.

Police will allege they tried to arrest the boy when he threw a rock at officers that missed but damaged the side of a police vehicle.

He then allegedly threatened officers with a metal pole before throwing it and smashing the windscreen of the vehicle.

Police will also allege the teen bit a male constable on the arm while being taken into custody.

The boy will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
