WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A West Fargo police officer was treated for undisclosed injuries and released from a hospital after authorities say the officer was assaulted by a drug suspect.

Officers responded to a report of a person wearing a ski mask sitting in a vehicle outside of a hotel on Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities say officers made contact with two men, one of whom fled on foot but was caught a short time later. The second suspect allegedly assaulted an officer during a struggle.
