A Cincinnati Police officer was attacked and beaten by his own Taser and baton at one of the city’s parks early Sunday morning.
Officer Terry McGuffey—a 33-year veteran, a former member of the homicide unit, and a U.S. Navy Veteran—was attacked in Sawyer Point Park in Cincinnati just after 7 a.m., Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham told WCPO.
McGuffey responded to the park near the tennis courts on reports of a man exposing himself in public. However, as the officer arrived, he was immediately attacked. The suspect beat the law enforcement agent with his own baton, then tased him several times. The suspect also allegedly attempted to “gouge the officer’s eyes out,” Fraternal Order of Police President Dan Hils said.
The city’s policing officials did not disclose how the suspect was able to obtain both the officer’s baton or Taser during the altercation.
Another officer arrived on scene to assist with the attack. The second responding officer ordered the suspect to the ground, then arrested the person without further incident.

I have to imagine as a police officer this would be quite embarrassing.
