The officer was taken to hospital to be X-Rayed and referred to facial surgery team.
It was the second time in two days the officer was assaulted, according to a colleague.

In response to another tweet, he added: 'Bruises will heal but those young children will always remember the day their Mum came home injured after being attacked. Very sad for them.'
A man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
