A Connecticut police officer was brutally assaulted by a hammer-wielding man, police said. Middletown Police said authorities received a complaint about noise and broken glass on a residential street at 6:33 p.m. on Saturday, August 12. Detective Karli Travis, who directs the Middletown Police Cadet Program and serves in the patrol department, was the first officer to respond to the call. She approached the resident on foot and police said they immediately noticed the suspect, 52-year-old Winston Tate, brandishing a blunt object. In a news conference on Tuesday, Aug. 15, Middletown Police Department Chief Eric McCallister said Travis calmly asked Tate to drop the item, a metal hammer, on the ground. He refused, although the officer repeatedly insisted that Tate do so. Show more
