A physical altercation between Nassau County police and a Manorhaven man and his son ended with two officers and an ambulance worker in the hospital and the suspects in handcuffs.
Police investigating an assault call to 1 Marwood Road South around 6:30 p.m. said they were attacked by Edgar Monroy, 59, and his son Joel Monroy, 23, who were later placed under arrest.
The two officers and an ambulance worker were then treated at a local hospital for injuries to their arms, necks and backs.
Edgar Monroy was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, third-degree assault, second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and endangering the welfare of a child.
Joel Monroy was charged with three counts of second-degree assault, resisting arrest and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration.
The older Monroy was not at the residence when police began their investigation, detectives said, but charged at officers at the scene when told he was being placed under arrest. He then allegedly knocked an officer to the ground and punched him repeatedly as a second officer tried to apprehend him.
Once Edgar Monroy was in custody, Joel Monroy attacked both officers as well as an ambulance worker, police said, punching all three before he was placed under arrest.
The Monroys were set to be arraigned Monday at First District Court in Hempstead.
