Jacob Brown also stabbed two members of staff at HMP Liverpool
Shocking video footage showing the moment a police officer was stabbed in the neck has been shared by police. Jacob Brown launched an unprovoked, violent attack on two police officers while they responded to a car crash on Wednesday, July 26, last year.
PS Ansell began grappling with Brown as he tried to stop the attacks on his colleague but he too was hit several times in the neck and upper body. A third officer, PC Wolstencroft, then fired his taser at the attacker before arresting him. After the arrest, PS Ansell noticed blood coming from his neck where he had suffered a serious stab wound, with his colleague, PS Foster, helping him with the wound.
On Thursday, August 10, last year, Brown stabbed a member of staff at the prison during an induction, with the attacker arming himself with a sharp object before attacking the member of staff, a man in his 50s, cutting his ear and head. Less than a month later, on Friday, September 1, 2023, Brown attacked a prison guard and stabbed him in the neck with a sharp object.
All three officers were honoured with the Bravery Award at the Chief Constable’s Annual Awards in October 2023. Detective Inspector Kelly of City of Manchester South’s CID, led the GMP investigation and said at the time: "Jacob Brown is considered to be a dangerous and violent man, as also marked by the Judge. There appeared to be no clear motive for these attacks – officers were taken completely by surprise and only their quick reactions stopped the outcome from being fatal.
