A man has admitted attacking police officers with a knife, although attempted murder charges against him have been dropped.
Thomas McComish had been accused of trying to kill a Merseyside Police officer during an incident on Parr Mount Street in St Helens. Gerald Baxter, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court this afternoon, Tuesday, that the 34-year-old was armed with a knife and a bottle at the time of the attack shortly before 9.30pm on December 5 last year.
The force stated at the time that PCs had carried out a search of the area and found him near to the Mount Church on Traverse Street, but he responded "aggressively". McComish, of Morgan Street, was disarmed after a struggle - during which one officer suffered a minor injury.
