The man is accused of assaulting a pair of the safety officers and trying to bite them, although they were able to detain him while waiting for police. Neither officer needed medical attention.
The 29-year-old, who was the subject of an arrest warrant for failing to attend court, now faces two counts of assaulting a peace officer.
