'Terrified' rookie cop called to pub brawl CS sprayed 6ft 4in suspect even though she had already 'disarmed' him
A police officer CS sprayed a man during a call to a mass brawl at a pub even though she had ‘disarmed’ him by seizing an empty wine glass from him which she feared could be used as a weapon, a disciplinary hearing was told.
She was just 18 months into her career as a police officer when she was dispatched to the pub following reports of a brawl involving 15 to 30 people. PC Holt told the hearing she managed to ‘wiggle’ the glass from the man and pass it to a member of pub staff. She said she believed he had been trying to conceal it behind his back.
Moments later she squirts the spray into his face as he looks at her, over the head of his female companion. She said she came to the conclusion because of the location, in an enclosed foyer, the size of the man and his strength - she said she could feel he was ‘quite muscular’. The footage shows the officer repeatedly spraying the man. PC Holt told the hearing she did this as he was ‘edging for a fight’ and her sergeant was ‘struggling’ to deal with him.
