A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after attempting to push a police officer from a third floor balcony.

Police were called to an address in Stanley Road, Carshalton, at 20:46hrs on Sunday, 13 January, following reports of a man attacking other family members.

Two female officers attended and encountered a 22-year-old man [A] on the stairwell of the address.

The man had injuries to his hand after the officers witnessed him punching through a window.

The two officers attempted to detain him and one officers was repeatedly kicked.

The other officer was put in a strangle hold and the suspect then tried to push her off the balcony.

The offices managed to activate their emergency radio alarm and other officers attended.

The man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Both of the officers were taken to hospital as a precaution, they have not been admitted.

The arrested man was also taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries and is now in custody at a south London police station.

Another 52-year-old man [B] was arrested for obstructing police.

He has also been taken into custody at a south London police station.

Enquiries continue.

Superintendent Steven Wright of the South Area Command Unit said:

“Both officers were responding to a call for help and were then assaulted, with one officer put in immediate risk of being critically injured.

“I am thankful that the two officers have not been seriously hurt, but this incident shows the courage of my officers and the dangers they can face.”

Glad these two @metpoliceuk | @MPFed Officers are ok – could have been far worse @PFEW_HQ | @PFEW_Chair #ThinBlueLine #JobLikeNoOther @grahamwettone | @Peter_Kirkham https://t.co/kbXHWO2Ee2

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

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.
