An anti-vax protester has been found guilty of striking a police horse during a demonstration in Newcastle city centre.
Alexander Warren was part of a rally outside the city's Civic Centre in August last year when he hit a police horse called Patronus, on the rear, Newcastle Magistrates' Court heard.
The 34-year-old of Daryngton House, in Hartington, London, had been standing trial charged with two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. However, Warren was found guilty of one count by Judge Paul Currer following the two-day trial on Friday, July 1.
