When he looked inside the sandwich, he saw shards of glass. Then he discovered his mouth was bleeding.
The unidentified officer had to be hospitalized after the incident Monday, according to ABC 6. It happened at a restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, though investigators are not naming the establishment.
