A ‘man’ has been jailed for what some might consider to be an inadequate amount of time  after a vile and ‘disgusting attack’ on two police officers – hitting one repeatedly over the head with a glass bottle and leaving her with a fractured skull.

Lee Wright, 34, of Moon Crescent, Eastwood, was sent down for two years and eight months when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, September 21, 2018.

Wright pleaded guilty to one count of inflicting grievous bodily harm and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

According to the NottinghamPost.com The incident happened on the night of July 6, 2018 in Mansfield Road in Eastwood.

Officers were called to a report from a concerned member of the public about a male in his back garden who had then gone into gardens in Mansfield Road.

The court heard that PCs David Hikin and Anne Bloomfield arrived to find Wright sitting on top of a garage.

The officers asked Wright to come down.

But they had to take Wright through the house in order to reach their police vehicle which parked at the front of the property.

As the group got to the front door, Wright started to become agitated. He ran back into the property before locking himself in the downstairs toilet.

After a few minutes he came out and officers once again led him towards the front door of the property.

As they were almost out, Wright hit PC Hikin on the arm before going back through the property followed by PC Bloomfield. PC Hikin was also kicked in the stomach by Wright.

Wright armed himself with a glass bottle and swung it at PC Bloomfield, hitting her in the head. He then swung it at her again hitting her to the forehead and knocking her to the floor.

PC Bloomfield suffered a skull fracture and hairline fracture of her eye socket as a result of the assault and a cut to her forehead with swelling and bruising.

She also suffered a black eye, with swelling and bruising, lumps to her head and a lump on her hand, injuries to her elbows and bruising to her hand.

Additional officers arrived on scene and spoke to Wright through a bedroom window.

Wright picked up a coping stone from the roof and threatened to throw it at officers who were in the garden.

After 45 minutes Wright came off the roof and he was arrested.

Speaking after Wright’s sentencing on Friday, September 21, Detective Constable Matthew Fagan said: “PC Hikin’s and PC Bloomfield’s first priority was to ensure Wright managed to get safely off the garage roof.

“They gave him constant reassurance during the entire incident but, in response, he subjected them to unacceptable levels of violence.

Wright received a 32-month prison sentence for the assault on PC Bloomfield and a 12-month prison sentence, to be served concurrently, for the assault on PC Hikin.

Many will wonder what is the point of giving two sentences which then effectively count as one when really the sentences should surely run one after the other?

There were two assaults – there should be two sentences which do not run at the same time.

Dave Keen, chairman of the Nottinghamshire Police Federation, added: “I note the sentence given to Wright for this disgusting assault on one of my members. Such assaults are never acceptable in a civilised society.

“We are disappointed with the gravity of charge he faced and do not believe it truly reflects the events of this incident.

“PC Bloomfield in particular faced extraordinary violence. That says an awful lot about Wright and his character.”

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
