2 officers assaulted at Escondido accident scene

ESCONDIDO — Two Escondido police officers suffered serious injuries Monday when they were attacked after responding to an accident.
A 35-year-old Escondido man was in custody, and expected to be booked into Vista jail Monday night with an immigration hold because of a prior deportation, Lt. Craig Carter said. He was being held on several charges, including assault on a peace officer, driving under the influence and taking a weapon other than a firearm from an officer, Carter said.
Officers Tim Kelly and Chris Leso arrived at 10:57 a.m. to the scene of an accident at Vista Verde Way and Loreto Glen in northeast Escondido. They found an unoccupied truck that had struck a wood barrier, Carter said. Witnesses said the driver had fled.
The officers called for a tow, and about 11:50, a man emerged from trees nearby and became irate, Carter said. He made a sign of the cross, took a fighting stance and charged the officers, who ordered him several times in Spanish and English to stop resisting.
The officers used a Taser, but to no effect. The man hit the officers in the head and back, and they returned strikes with a baton.
Leso and Kelly called for backup, and the assailant was in custody within minutes. Officers found a large knife in the man’s pocket, Carter said.
He will be tested for drugs and alcohol, the lieutenant said.
Kelly and Leso were treated at a hospital, and likely will require further medical evaluation, Carter said.
