Architecture student Muhammad Zakir Arif, from Bury, Greater Manchester, lunged at the male officer as he was questioned on suspicion of being involved in terrorism offences.
A teenager assaulted a detective constable during a police interview and put him in a chokehold as he shouted 'Allahu Akbar', a court has heard.
Prosecutor Joe Allman told Manchester Crown Court that Arif put up a 'significant struggle' when arrested as he kicked out at officers and shouted 'Allahu Akbar ' - meaning 'there is no God but Allah' – as well as other words in Arabic.

The defendant was forced into a corner but managed to place the detective into a headlock and squeeze his neck before other officers rushed to the assistance of their colleague who was later sent home to recover from pain to his neck and shoulders. Arif, of Harrington Close, was on bail at the time of his arrest after he was convicted months earlier of two robberies and an attempted robbery in January 2023.
In July, Arif pleaded guilty to assaulting the detective causing actual bodily harm and intentionally strangling him.
