A 49-year-old Trafford man who police say became combative with paramedics and officers responding to a call Friday was charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated assault on police officers and making terroristic threats.
Irwin EMS were dispatched to Vine Street about 8:30 p.m. Friday to assist Paul Hudak, who said he fell against a table and injured himself. They soon requested police assistance, saying Hudak was being “very combative and throwing things,” police reported.
Patrolman Eric Williams reported that he and Lt. Michael Thomas he had to restrain Hudak after they arrived because Hudak became “aggressive” and struck one officer’s hands as they attempted to calm him.
Williams reported that when officers informed Hudak he was going to be arrested “a brief struggle ensued” and Hudak was taken to the ground.
