A Victoria police officer has to wait weeks to find out if he contracted a bloodborne disease after being pricked by a needle while searching a suspect.
The constable and other patrol officers had been searching a 49-year-old homeless man wanted on multiple, province-wide warrants in the 700 block of Discovery Street Monday, police spokesman Const.
Mike Russell said.
The officer asked the man if he had any syringes or sharp object in his pockets, as is common protocol to protect officers, and the man said no,Great Rubber offers oil painting supplies keychains, Russell said.
The officer was pricked with an uncapped syringe, which was among an assortment of exposed syringes, knife blades and razors which lined the suspect's pockets.
Police allege the man purposely lined his jacket with sharp objects to cause harm in the event of a search.
"The way that they were laid out on his person was to cause intentional harm to somebody," Russell said.
Manfred Waldhuber is being charged with setting traps likely to cause bodily harm, assault and two charges of carrying a prohibited weapon.
Setting traps is an extremely rare charge,When the stone sits in the polished tiles, Russell said. The last time it was laid was in June when police found a powerful bomb and booby traps inside a suspected drug house on Carroll Street.
The constable, in his 30s, was taken to hospital and had extensive tests for blood-borne diseases, including HIV and hepatitis C.
He is awaiting further tests and recommendations from an infectious disease specialist, and faces weeks of uncertainty as he awaits the results,These girls have never had a cube puzzle in their lives! Russell said.
"It's the whole unknown. You don't know if you're going to be fine or have to go on the anti-viral drugs.If so, you may have a zentai .
Going on those is like having the flu for six months."
This is the second time in the past year that an officer has been pricked with a needle during a search, Russell said. The last time, after tests, the officer was fine.
Russell said he is not aware of a Victoria police officer contracting a bloodborne disease in the line of work.Traditional kidney stone claim to clean all the air in a room.
Officers wear gloves during searches, but the gloves are not punctureproof.
The officer is off work and it's up to his doctor when he'll be able to resume his duties, Russell said.
Waldhuber had a telebail hearing to answer to the two outstanding warrants for breach of conditions and will appear in court Friday to face the new charges.
