Police officer 'grabbed woman and threatened to break her neck'

A Merseyside Police officer could face the sack after allegedly grabbing a woman and threatening to "break her neck".

PC Robert Marshall is accused of "excessive force" by restraining the woman "by the neck" on three occasions. He is also alleged to have told her "don’t f****** grab me or I will break your f****** neck" and called her a "k***head and a rat".

PC Marshall is due to appear at a misconduct hearing before an independent panel at Merseyside Police HQ, on Cazenau Street, in September. If found guilty of gross misconduct as alleged by Merseyside Police's Professional Standards Department (PSD), PC Marshall could face immediate dismissal and be placed on the College of Policing barred list, prohibiting him from working in any policing role in the UK.
