A police officer is in a serious condition in hospital after being assaulted in Peterborough on Monday (8 February) afternoon.

The officer, who is in his 20s and a response team officer in the north of the county, was conducting a welfare check at a property in Ledbury Road at about 5pm when he was assaulted.

The police officer was rushed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge by emergency ambulance where he remains in what police have described as a ‘serious but stable’ condition.

Joshua Gull, 27, of Herne Road, Oundle, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent in connection with the incident.

He appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this morning (10th Feb), and has been remanded into custody to appear at Peterborough Crown Court on a future date.

Chief Constable Nick Dean said: 

“My officers and staff work tirelessly to keep our communities safe but sadly, they are regularly subjected to violence which too often results in injury. This is a shocking reminder of the dangers officers and staff face every day in their role to protect the public.

“Assaults against police officers and staff should never be just ‘part of the job’ and it is outrageous to see this officer has been severely assaulted while on duty and trying to help.

“My full support and thoughts are with the officer, his colleagues and his family while he recovers in hospital.”

We have set up a fundraiser for the officer on JustGiving.com. If you would like to contribute, then please click HERE

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
