An Indiana State Police trooper was bitten by a man he was trying to place into custody.

The trooper pulled over a silver Mitsubishi on the Indiana Toll Road in Lake County on Saturday.

The driver refused to identify himself to the officer and became aggressive.

As the trooper was putting the man in custody, the suspect bit the officer on the arm.

That’s when a child got out of the car and started to run into traffic. While the officer was instructing the 6 year-old to get back in the car, the suspect took off running.

Police looked for the man, but couldn’t find him and are still looking.

The child was released to its mother.
