SAN JOSE — A police officer suffered a broken nose after he was punched in the face by a man during a traffic stop on Alum Rock Avenue on Thursday morning, authorities said.
The attack was reported around 9:45 a.m. on Alum Rock Avenue near 33rd Street, according to the San Jose Police Department.
An early investigation alleges that the police officer had initiated a stop on a motorist whose vehicle was associated with a prior felony evading case.

Police said the involved officer “sustained a broken nose among other visible injuries” that were not considered life-threatening, adding that the suspect suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment.
The suspect was expected to be booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, assault on a peace officer and the prior felony evading allegation, according to police, who did not release additional details Thursday.
