An injured man attacked a police officer in Montpelier Saturday night.

Witnesses say twenty-two year old Melchizedek Levi of Illinois fell through a window at the Three Penny Tap Room on Main Street. When police arrived and tried to escort Levi to an ambulance, he resisted and allegedly punched a police officer in the face. Four officers and two EMT's had to help subdue the man, who suffered a head injury.

This is the eighth assault on a Montpelier police officer this year and the second where EMT's and police officers were exposed to large amounts of blood. Levi faces charges of disorderly conduct and simple assault.
