NASSAU-A man allegedly sucker-punched a cop while in the lock-up at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station.
Edwin Thompson, 27, is accused of punching Reserve Constable 718 Taylor in the eye on June 14.
Prosecutors say the officer went into the cell block because Thompson was behaving in a disorderly manner.
Thompson allegedly gave the cop a black eye after the officer told him to calm down.
He appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes to answer charges of causing harm and disorderly behaviour in a police station.
Thompson pleaded not guilty and was denied bail.
He can apply for bail in the Supreme Court and returns to court on September 29 for his trial.
Police did not say the reason for Thompson’s initial arrest.
