CAMPBELL, J.

¶1PRO TEMPORE.

¶2In the course of being arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol, defendant entered into a fracas with Springfield Police Officers Michael Carlile and Michael McCluhan. Officer Carlile suffered arm injuries and incurred medical expenses and time loss in the amount of $636.84. Officer McCluhan received eye injuries resulting in $4,607.78 in expenses. The State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIF) paid these expenses. Defendant was convicted of assault in the second degree and assault in the fourth degree. As a condition of probation, defendant was ordered to make restitution to SAIF in the amount of $5,244.62. See ORS 137.103 et seq. On appeal, defendant contends SAIF is not a proper recipient of the restitution award.

¶3The record indicates that the two police officers have both brought civil actions against the defendant. Even though the injured police officers have apparently made an election under ORS 656.578, we cannot determine the amount of the payments SAIF will receive by virtue of its lien on the officers’ causes of action, ORS 656.580(2), 656.593(1). We therefore remand this case to the trial court for resentencing to require the defendant to make restitution in the amount of $5,244.62 to the injured police officers and SAIF as their interests may appear. See State v. Divers, 51 Or App 351, 625 P2d 681 (1980).

¶4Remanded for resentencing.
