NBC found out from police that when officers first responded they did not find a fight, but saw Luis Santana, 32, nearby on High Street running away, wearing no shirt and holding a white parrot, police said.

When police told Santana to stop, he tossed the bird at the officer, police said. The animal bit the policeman’s finger and Santana ran away through the woods, police said.

A witness was able to lead police to the suspect, who had allegedly barged into an apartment and was hiding in a bathroom.

Santana was charged with cruelty to animals, assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, second-degree burglary and interfering with a police officer.

The parrot is being held at the Waterbury pound without bail at this time.
