Absolutely, legend. Apparently a member of the public dashed into a nearby Starbucks to get a bag of ice for his head and he told them to do one when they came back with it.

Read his story on the BBC website, and saw him interviewed, but nothing about being attacked by the police himself. Sauce, please.

Our Plod are, in my humble opinion, the best in the World.

As we run away from danger they run the other way, armed with a baton mainly.

Makes you proud it does.

I quoted my source.

I see my source has backtracked and edited their post though.

The original thread title was ambiguous.

If you read 'attacks' as a noun it meant one thing, if you read 'attacks' as a verb the meaning was completely different.

He did exactly whatever any other police officer would do. Selfless to the last. Deserves the highest accolade (and will get it as wel I'm sure)

Did you see Where There's Blame, There's A Claim - Channel 5 last night?

Some black guy was first wrongly arrested in a shop, then two years later he was tasered at his home in a case of mistaken identity. He ended up £36k better off though.
