A woman has been charged after she allegedly bit a police officer on the leg when being arrested at Albury this morning.

Police were patrolling Dean Street about 1.55am (Sunday 15 March 2015), when they saw security personnel struggling to evict a woman from a hotel.

They intervened and police will allege the woman bit a police officer on his leg as they tried to handcuff her.

The woman was taken to Albury Police Station, where she was charged with assault police occasioning actual bodily harm, resist police, and offensive language.

The 34-year-old woman, from Corowa, was granted conditional bail to appear in Albury Local Court on Tuesday 7 April 2015.

The officer was checked by NSW Ambulance Paramedics as the bite allegedly penetrated his skin.

He is receiving further treatment.
