Columbus police say officers Andrew Mott and Samuel Clanin were recovering Friday from their injuries.
Body camera footage posted by police shows an assault taking place moments after the two officers responded to a call about a man threatening people with a knife outside the Faith Mission downtown homeless shelter.
The suspect is seen punching Mott and slamming Clanin against the police car within seconds of them exiting the vehicle.
Mott’s jaw was broken in two places and required surgery. Clanin suffered a concussion.
The suspect, identified by police as Noah Andrews, is charged with assault on a police officer.
Andrews was not injured.
