CINCINNATI -- A Cincinnati police officer was injured Friday evening in an accident in Bond Hill.
The officer, whose name was not released, suffered a severe arm laceration while on duty in the 1700 block of Langdon Farm Road.
Medics wrapped up the officer's arm at the scene, and he will be taken to University Hospital to receive stitches.
Police said the officer was on bicycle patrol when he was startled by a goose and crashed into a plate glass window at Swifton Commons.
Police said the goose charged the officer in an apparent effort to protect its mate.
I'm telling ya. You gotta watch out for these flying rats. This wasn't in the best area of town either...probably a gangsta goose. :-"
