'We were only fighting with him for a few minutes but it seemed to last an eternity because we could not control him.'
A suspected drug dealer was ‘like a caged animal fighting for his life’ when he stabbed a police officer near a children’s play park, a court has heard.
PC Turner, 56, suffered a collapsed lung from the repeated stab wounds inflicted in Stamshaw Park, Portsmouth. Both officers were in plain clothes and identified themselves as police as they approached the suspect on February 21.
