A drunken man caused a fracture to a police officer's leg when he refused to get into a police van on Christmas Eve.
Paul Luke, 38, became aggressive after two officers came to arrest him following a domestic violence incident at his home during the Christmas holidays, reports Chronicle Live.
He said he had claustrophobia, refused to get into the police van and amidst a struggle he wrapped his legs around one officer, PC Gillespie, and caused him to fall over.
