PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A 35th District police officer is in a medically-induced coma following a violent struggle with a suspect in the Logan section early Friday morning.

According to investigators, officers responded to an assist call at about 12:45 a.m. at 7th and Loudon Streets.

When officers arrived, they found 31-year-old Officer Michael Gwynn unconscious and unresponsive, but still holding on to 34-year-old suspect Havon Cooper.

There's a cop in critical condition so obviously it's a valid time to bring up an argument from a completely different thread since this thread has absolutely no details whatsoever to tie the two together.

Wow. The 35th is where Lawncrest is, IIRC. That used to be the relatively quiet area where all the cops lived and retired out of.

Prayers for the Officer and his family. Terrible.

Tag for more info and prayers to the office and his family.

If he's in a medically induced coma, I wonder if he had to go hands on and he suffered trauma to the brain? Or could it also be due to blood loss from either a stabbing or shooting?

FOX says...

Police are still investigating the reason that the 35th District officer stopped a vehicle to interact with the suspect in the first place. The initial 911 call came after the struggle began.

A witness told police the officer was trying to arrest a man when they got into a scuffle and the officer passed out, falling on top of the 42-year-old suspect.
