It was just another morning for Helen Hignett-Clawson. The GMP police officer woke up and put her uniform on ready for her shift. Little did she know, mornings would never be the same again.
The mum-of-two would later suffer an attack so catastrophic it caused a severe head injury – leaving her disabled for the rest of her life.
The 40-year-old was serving as a police officer for Greater Manchester Police when the assault happened in a hospital car park in 2010. She was on duty when her handcuffed attacker struck her across the head multiple times. Sadly, the trauma sustained from the head injury led to her developing various health and mobility issues.
