Authorities in Ohio reported a shocking incident where a man allegedly tried to attack a police officer with a pen while in an interrogation room. The Xenia Police Department revealed that the man, identified as Reid Dura, was being questioned when the altercation occurred.

According to testimony from law enforcement officials, the incident occurred during an interrogation at the police station. Dura, seemingly agitated, suddenly rushed towards the police officer with a pen in hand, causing the police officer to quickly react in self-defense.

Fortunately, the police officer avoided the attack and safely subdued Dura without injury. The Xenia Police Department confirmed that Dura was arrested shortly after the incident and is now facing charges related to the attempted assault of a police officer.

The motive behind accusing Dura of trying to attack the police officer remains unclear and authorities are conducting further investigation into the matter. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of law enforcement missions and the potential risks officers face even within the confines of a police station.

As the investigation progresses, authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement officers to ensure the safety of both police and community members.
