   A Mountain View police officer broke a 16-year-old girl's nose   
   Monday night after she grabbed his baton, jabbed him with it and   
   tried to strike him over the head, a police spokeswoman said.   
      
   The officer was assaulted while investigating a fight between   
   two teenagers at Quetzal House, a center on View Street for teen   
   girls who are chronic runaways from the Santa Clara County   
   foster care system, police spokeswoman Liz Wylie said. Staff   
   called police to the facility at about 8:15 p.m.   
      
   One of the girls involved in the fight kept interrupting the   
   officer as he tried to interview a staff member in private and   
   then started to swear at him, Wylie said. The officer asked the   
   teen to wait in another room, but she refused.   
      
   The girl, described as 5-foot-2 and 250 pounds, kept up the   
   verbal barrage and the officer decided to put her in handcuffs,   
   Wylie said. But the teen resisted and kept struggling even after   
   he forced her to the ground, Wylie said.   
      
   During the scuffle, the girl got hold of the officer's wooden   
   baton and jabbed him in the chest and ribs, according to Wylie.   
      
   "He tried to take the baton away from her and she raised it up   
   over her head," Wylie said. "He was pretty certain she was going   
   to hit him in the head with it."   
      
   The officer deflected the baton with his arm and punched the   
   girl three times in the face, Wylie said. She was then taken   
   into custody.   
      
   The girl was treated for a broken nose at a hospital and booked   
   into juvenile hall on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.   
   The Mountain View Police Department also wants the district   
   attorney's office to charge her with assault on an officer and   
   removing a weapon from an officer.   
      
   The 33-year-old officer has been with the police department   
   since February and had previously worked for another law   
   enforcement agency, according to Wylie. He cut and scraped his   
   hand during the scuffle with the girl.
