NEW ORLEANS - A man accused of striking a police officer with a metal chair in New Orleans earlier this week was arrested Thursday. 

The New Orleans Police Department said Zachary Bott, 20, turned himself in Thursday after a tip helped investigators identify him as a suspect. 

The department said the confrontation happened around 1 a.m. Monday on Harrison Avenue when officers intervene in a fight. Bott reportedly picked up a metal folding chair and hit the officer before running away. 

The officer suffered minor injuries in the attack. 

Bott was booked for battery of a police officer.
