An off-duty reserve police officer was undergoing surgery after an incident Tuesday in which he was hit by a vehicle, Maine State Police said.
Many details around the incident in Norway, Maine, involving the reserve officer for Oxford police and another man, who was arrested, weren't immediately available. There was no danger to the public.
The off-duty officer, Joe Correia, a 31-year-old from Norway, was outside of his vehicle on Crocket Ridge Road and hit by a vehicle being driven by Michael Carleton, of Paris, Maine, about 6 p.m., police said.
That led to a fight between the two, according to police. Carleton was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon; it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges.
