A WOMAN is in police custody in connection with a fire that caused extensive damage to a home in an inner-city community over the weekend.
The Fire Services Branch of the Royal Bahamas Police Force responded to a structural fire on Augusta Street around 8pm on Saturday.
Fire Chief Assistant Superintendent Walter Evans yesterday said that upon extinguishing the flames to the extensively damaged property, officers attempted to arrest a woman believed to be behind the blaze.
The female suspect reportedly resisted arrest and bit a female officer on the leg resulting in the latter having to receive treatment in hospital.
No indication was given as to whether or not arson charges would be filed against the suspect.
