NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 22-year-old parolee who was wanted for raping two girls in Pennsylvania attacked two officers at a Manhattan shelter, biting one of them and beating another, before fleeing into the streets has been arrested, police said early Wednesday.
Isaiah Metz was arrested and charged with two counts of a police officer, two counts of resisting arrest, two counts of obstructing governmental administration, two counts of assault and criminal trespass.
The two officers from the Regional Fugitive Task Force went into a shelter at 257 W. 30th St. in Chelsea around 4:15 a.m. on Tuesday to apprehend Metz on two outstanding warrants from Pennsylvania, police said.
Metz assaulted the officers, repeatedly punching both and biting one in the arm, police said. He then ran off and had not been located as of late Tuesday morning.
Both officers were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they were treated and released. One is from the NYPD Warrants Section and the other is a member of the state police's Department of Investigation, the Daily News reported.
Metz is on parole for assaulting a police officer in Pennsylvania and wanted for allegedly raping twin 4-year-old girls in that state, according to sources.
He reportedly faces 115 other sex abuse related crimes.
