South Carolina deputy OK after injury on 'Live PD'

RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. (WACH) - A Richland County deputy is recovering after being injured on "Live PD."

The incident happened during Friday night's episode of the A&E show.

According to tweets from the Richland County Sheriff's Department and Senior Deputy Josh Newsom, the deputy was injured while chasing a suspect. Newsom was following the suspect over a fence when he was cut.

The suspect was also cut by the fencing, and his blood came in contact with Newsom's cut during the arrest.

Newsom, who is also a K-9 specialist with the department, was taken to the hospital after the arrest for testing. However, the deputy said on Saturday that the results are "looking clear."
