An "obstructive", drunken man caused a nasty fracture to a police officer's leg during an arrest on Christmas Eve.
Paul Luke became aggressive when two police officers came to arrest him following a domestic violence call out over the Christmas holidays. The 38-year-old refused to get into a police van due to "claustrophobia" and ended up wrapping his legs around one officer, PC Gillespie, which caused him to fall over.
Luke landed on top of the officer, causing a fracture in two places which resulted in the policeman undergoing a three hour operation on Christmas Day where metal rods where fitted into his leg.
