Officer Daniel Lambert is on administrative leave, after being arrested and arraigned Monday.

Princeton Police Chief W.L. Harman says the alleged incident occurred around 5 a.m. Sunday on Thorn Street in Princeton.

He said it's always disappointing when someone is injured by a police officer.

"It's sad when anybody makes that kind of mistake, but especially a police officer," Harman said. "It just hurts the whole law enforcement community."

According to witnesses, Lambert was accused of punching and hitting a man with a beer bottle.

Harman said the victim has been released from the hospital, but will need additional treatment.

A Hinton Police Officer was reportedly with Lambert during the incident.

He has not been charged but police say additional warrants may be pending.
