SCHENECTADY — A city police officer suffered a hand injury trying to arrest a man Sunday evening, authorities said.
Officer Scott Bobrowich suffered the injury just before 6 p.m. while arresting Billy-Jack Batease on Van Vranken Avenue, according to papers filed in court.
Batease, 36, of Van Vranken Avenue, faces one count of second-degree assault, a felony, as well as felony criminal contempt and other charges.
