Man bites policeman to avoid breath test

TAIYUAN - A driver bit the hand of a police officer to avoid an alcohol test on Monday in Taiyuan, capital of North China's Shanxi province, local police said on Wednesday.

The man, surnamed Hao, is being charged with dangerous driving after police finally administered a breath test, which showed that his alcohol level was above the legal limit.

A later blood test revealed Hao's alcohol level was 129 milligrams of alcohol for 100 milliliters of blood, exceeding the legal threshold of 80 milligrams of alcohol for 100 milliliters of blood, local traffic police said.
