A criminal complaint filed Thursday in Ramsey County District Court alleges that Elliot Hughes, 20, slammed into a bike cop with his bicycle and then lowered his shoulder into a second officer during the convention's raucous first day.
The officer struck by Hughes' bicycle suffered a cut to his knee, the complaint said. The second officer, who was knocked off her bicycle when Hughes allegedly leaned into her, suffered an abrasion and a bruise to her knee.
Hughes faces two counts of assaulting an officer and a separate count of obstructing the legal process with force -- all gross misdemeanor offenses.
The St. Paul man could not be reached to comment Thursday.
