JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – News4Jax has received the incident report after a Jacksonville police officer was attacked while responding to a call in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the officer was checking on reports of car burglaries when someone told the officer they heard gunshots from a nearby bar. The report states that the officer got his rifle from his cruiser and went to investigate.

The officer, the reports says, found a group of eight people fighting in a roadway -- two women in particular. Police said the officer tried to separate them, but was unsuccessful.

The Sheriff’s Office said the officer tried to detain one woman, identified by police as Jermisha Ramsey, and pulled his Taser. According to the report, the officer put the red pointer on her and told her to get to the ground, when an unidentified person stepped in front of Ramsey and attempted to keep the officer from arresting her.

The officer, police said, grabbed Ramsey’s wrist and brought her to the ground, where she was handcuffed and taken to a cruiser.

In the report, the arresting officer noted a cut to the leg and various bruises and scrapes.

Ramsey is charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and street fighting. The name of the person who tried to keep the officer from arresting Ramsey was redacted from the report.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A woman who struck a North Miami Beach police officer with her car last week has been identified as 19-year-old Cynthia Muthike Muisyo.

Muisyo is facing a charge of second-degree attempted murder in connection with the incident that occurred Thursday afternoon in the area of Northeast 172nd Street and Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura.

She was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Saturday after being released from the hospital and is being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

According to police, the officer, a 17-year veteran of the police force, had been flagged down by another driver on Thursday. He was attempting to stop the woman who was involved in a hit-and-run involving two other vehicles when he was run over, authorities said.

Police Chief Richard Rand said the woman then tried to drive away again.

“Shots were fired,” Rand said. “K-9 was deployed, and the female was stopped.”

Authorities later explained that shots were fired in an attempt to stop Muisyo after she intentionally struck the officer.

Muisyo was taken to Aventura Hospital and Medical Center in stable condition and the officer was taken to the same hospital in serious condition.

Police confirmed that the officer, whose identity has not yet been released, was released from the hospital on Sunday and is now recovering at home.
