A police officer believes he is 'lucky to be alive' after he was beaten unconscious by a thug in Wishaw.
Josh Smith, 20, attacked the cop in April 2021 and was spared a prison sentence. He was handed a six-month electronic tagging order with an 8am to 7pm curfew, as well as an 18-month community payback order at Hamilton Sheriff Court last week.
The officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has now shared his ordeal and believes his assailant did not receive 'proper punishment' for his actions, which forced him to take time off work, reports the 1919 Magazine.
