Hide AdSouth Yorkshire Police said that because of '˜short staffing' issues and '˜high demand' officers were sent to incidents '˜single crewed' rather than with a colleague for assistance.Â
At one of the incidents an officer was assaulted before a dog handler arrived to assist in the arrest of the '˜violent suspect,' the force said.
In another incident, a police officer had to use an incapacitant spray to apprehend an 'aggressive' man.
No other details have yet been released.
