Two Santa Rosa men were arrested on felony charges of battery against a police officer after a Sunday afternoon domestic violence call.
Two officers responded to the 1000 block of Aston Avenue around noon Sunday after dispatchers received a hang-up call on a domestic violence report.
Following an arrest, family members of the person arrested and the alleged victim began fighting, according to police. Officers attempted to stop the fight and were attacked, police said.
After one subject was felled by a Taser gun, another person attacked the officer. The person hit by the Taser then attacked the second officer, according to police.
Backup was called, and the arriving officers controlled the subjects, according to police. Two officers were injured, one suffering a dislocated shoulder.
Alberto Zavala, 19, and Gerardo Zavala, 40, both of Santa Rosa, were arrested on suspicion of resisting officers causing injury and felony battery against a peace officer.
