A Sydney policewoman has been knocked unconscious after arresting a drunken man for baring his buttocks.
Police were patrolling Harris Street, Pyrmont, about 7.30pm (AEDT) last night when they spotted the 28-year-old man with his jeans lowered to his knees, exposing his buttocks.
While officers were talking to the man,
who police say was drunk, he tried to snatch his driver's licence and a police notebook from a male constable, who had been taking down his details.
A struggle occurred and the man allegedly grabbed the officer around the throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Police were forced to use a baton to make the man let go of the officer.
