An Allegheny County man was charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly spit in the face of a police officer.

Indiana Borough police said Glenshaw fled from officers who tried to approach him after he was observed at 2:41 a.m. Sunday staggering and falling down on South Sixth Street. Panas, who lost his shoes during the pursuit, was discovered hiding inside an apartment building at 115 S. Sixth St., police said.
