A man who allegedly assaulted a police officer in Caubati has been remanded in custody by the Nasinu Magistrates Court.
He has been charged with one count of assaulting a police officer, annoying a person and damaging property.
The matter has been adjourned to the 18th of this month.
Sergeant, Vilitaki Bari was allegedly assaulted by a group of men at his home on Tuesday night which was as an act of retaliation for a case he had intervened in.
Bari had assisted a taxi driver who was caught up in a confrontation between two men who refused to pay their fare upon arriving in Caubati.
This led to the arrest of the two who were taken to the Valelevu Police Station.
It is alleged that one of the suspects who was released came with a group of men to the police officer's home and assaulted him.
Meanwhile, Police are still questioning the man who was in custody in relation to the attack of three police officers in Tamavua‑I‑Wai last month.
Police say he is being questioned for other offences.
