After being found guilty of attacking his neighbor over a parking conflict, a police officer has been terminated from his position over the incident. On November 29, 2024, Joshua Smith was shoved by a police officer named Daniel Traynor, who was 38 years old. Smith had arrived at his home in East London to discover a car that was “blocking access to his property.”
On Monday, a misconduct hearing was held in South London. The hearing revealed that Mr. Smith then hit the officer, and the two of them ‘grappled and fell to the floor’, which resulted in the police being summoned to the residence. As a result of sliding backwards onto the ground, Mr. Smith was reportedly injured, according to the hearing.
