A Brandon police officer was stabbed in the head with a hypodermic needle by a woman who said that she wanted to kill him.
The stabbing occurred last night just after 8 pm after police were called to a disturbance at a home in the city.
The first officer on the scene said he heard a woman screaming from inside. He was met inside by a 25-year-old woman wielding a hypodermic needle filled with an unknown fluid.
The woman then proceeded to attack the officer, and stab him in the head.
As the fight went on, the woman said she wanted to kill the officer, she then urged others in the home to do the same.
The officer was able to get the woman under control until backup came and arrested the woman.
The suspect was scheduled to be in court this morning.
The officer was taken to hospital and later released. He is receiving treatment for exposure to potentially hazardous fluids.
