officer vs criminal with knife

DickHardman · 08-09-2007, 05:56 PM

awesome video. a suspect is being searched by an officer, when the suspect suddenly pulls out a huge blade that he has hidden on him. the officer, though taken by surprise, is fast enough to stop the guy from stabbing him. awesome video, and props to that cop for getting to go home safe at the end of the day.

"PC Croft said he felt uneasy during the search: "I was behind him and there was something unusual about him. He kept wanting to drop his hands. As I was searching him, he just spun around.

"It was a very fast risk assessment. I realised that if I moved back, he was going to get me. I could do nothing but block and tackle."

He went on: "As I grabbed him, I can remember trying to articulate a word to let people know what was happening, but I just let out a roar."

He praised the quick reflexes of his colleagues, one of whom vaulted over the counter and down a 5ft drop to help PC Croft to pin his attacker to the wall.

Now PC Croft and two of his colleagues, Detention Officer John Pratt and Custody Sergeant Ian Symons, have been recommended for commendations."

Man. Attempted murder of a police officer, in the station, in front of a witness, while being videotaped. What a nutjob.
