Bristol police responded to a domestic disturbance on Thursday afternoon and ended up fending the man off when he tried to bite one of the responding officers, police said.
Police responded to the call at 2:50 p.m. and found Gregory Lamboy, 29, of Bristol, hiding in a closet, police said.
Police determined that he had assaulted a female who had a protective order against him, police said.
At first, Lamboy would not come out of the closet, police said. When he finally did, he struggled with police, as well as a police dog, spit in an officer’s face and tried to bite the officer, who sustained a minor injury, police said.
Lamboy was charged with assault on a police officer, interfering with a police officer, criminal violation of a protective order, criminal trespass in the first degree, assault in the third degree, risk of injury to a minor, breach of peace in the second degree and possession of less than a half ounce of marijuana.
He was also charged with two counts of failure to appear in the second degree on outstanding arrest warrants.
Lamboy was held on a total bond of $175,000 for the domestic arrest as well as the two failure to appear warrants.

He will be arraigned at the Superior Court in Bristol Friday morning.
