Ava Sitzer, of Corning, is also accused of damaging property in the February incident. Sitzer was transported for emergency care at the time and a warrant for her arrest was secured. The injured officer was treated at the hospital and released.

Sitzer was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
