HOUSTON - Four people were arrested after allegedly attacking an officer at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown.
Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 4 were called Thursday around 6 p.m. to the water park located on North Freeway in Spring after a group of people were refusing to leave.
Responding officers found the group and told them to leave, but refused again. That's when one of the deputies reportedly tried to detain one of the men in the group, but he resisted and a struggle ensued.
During the struggle, officials said another man jumped on the deputy's back. The security guards at the scene then tried helping the deputy, but authorities said a woman punched one of them in the back of the head. Another woman then bit the security guard's left arm.
