PC Sean Quinn was left with injuries including a 'gaping' forehead wound that exposed his skull, the court had heard. 'It is only by pure chance that none of these injuries proved to be fatal,' a senior Kent Police officer said.
A suspected flasher has been found guilty of trying to murder a police officer by stabbing him 23 times with a pair of scissors. Robert Jenner - a 50-year-old nicknamed the 'Naked Carpenter' - was convicted of the attempted murder of Kent police constable Sean Quinn. Jenner stabbed PC Quinn in the head, face and neck in June 2023, leaving the officer with injuries including a 'gaping wound' across his forehead, exposing his skull.
Constables Quinn and Ashley Bates went to Jenner's home to arrest him on 15 June 2023, after they suspected him of matching a report of a male running naked in a local park, 'nipping in and out of bushes, exposing himself to women'. When they arrived, an 'aggressive' and 'completely naked' Jenner barricaded himself into his flat and officers decided to force entry into the property, the court heard. Once inside, PC Quinn followed Jenner into his kitchen-living room.
