Police in Derry have arrested a 35-year-old man after an officer was assaulted on Friday evening, May 16.
Chief Inspector Cherith Craig said: “Officers were attending an incident in the Sackville Street area on Friday evening, during which two men were arrested on suspicion of assault.
“During this arrest, a female officer was pulled into the side of the vehicle by one of the detained men, hitting her face off the door. This caused a painful swelling of her eye.
“The man was further arrested on suspicion of assault on police and remains in custody at this time.
“This is simply not acceptable. Officers join the police service to keep people safe - they do not deserve to be assaulted simply for doing their job.
"These incidents highlight the grim reality of the shameful behaviour which we run the risk of being confronted with every time we attend a call.
"Our local officers put themselves in harm’s way to protect others. We are extremely proud of the way they, and all our officers, serve the public each and every day."
