Police officers 'bitten, punched' by man in Yamba

New South Wales police officers have been attacked twice by a man they attempted to serve with papers on the state's north coast.

Two officers were first assaulted while serving papers on a 30-year-old man at a home in Ballanda Crescent, Yamba, about 4.15pm (AEDT) yesterday.

Police said the man punched a senior constable twice in the head and pushed him into a wall.

The officer retaliated with capsicum spray but failed to subdue the man, who fled and was arrested a short time later at a house in Charles Street, Iluka.

The man was taken to Grafton Police Station where it's alleged he again became aggressive.

He's accused of attempting to bite a sergeant's face before striking him on the head, then biting a constable's arm.
