HAZLETON, LUZERNE COUNTY -- A man is charged with attacking an off-duty Hazleton police officer.

It happened around 3:00 A. M. Sunday in front of Two Guys Pizza on West Diamond Avenue. The off-duty officer asked a group of men to move a vehicle that was blocking a driveway.

That's when they say 21-year-old Ricardo Sanchez of Hazleton attacked the man. Several other men jumped-in and began beating the off-duty cop.

The officer was treated at Hazleton General for facial injuries including a fracture and a cut that required stitches.

Sanchez faces about a half-dozen charges including aggravated assault. Police are working to identify the other men involved.
