A family attacked police officers in their home just minutes after they dialled 999 for help, with one left needing hospital treatment. The family of four from Bridgend took one officer into a headlock, struck another on the head, kicked one in the chest and held one by the scruff of her neck.
They all pleaded guilty to assault by beating of an emergency worker and were sentenced earlier this month. Mark Davis, 63, his wife Sara Davis, 55, their daughter Olivia Davis, 27, and her boyfriend Conor Blacklock, 28, had been out drinking in Bridgend on February 5 before the attack.
A statement from South Wales Police said the police control room received a call from a number linked to Mark Davis, but nobody spoke. "Control room operators heard shouting and banging in the background so they dispatched officers who arrived minutes after," the statement continued.
