Three Boston police officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries Tuesday while responding to a radio call at the Boston Public Library, where a man who had reportedly been masturbating punched and bit the officers, according to authorities.
Police responded to reports from library staff around 8:30 a.m. saying an adult male — later identified as Cornelio Conley, 43 — was masturbating in front of the historic building.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, the BPD told Fox News.
Conley resisted officers' attempts to take him into custody and "threw a tarp" at one of the officers. He also punched and bit officers, according to the news release.
Officers used pepper spray to stop Conley and took him "into custody without further incident," police said. Additional responding units transported the officers to a nearby hospital to address their injuries.
