Police officer sacked after hitting man in Cardiff bar leading to drunk and disorderly arrest

A Gwent Police officer has been sacked after hitting a man in a bar. PC Simon Rohman hit a member of the public in Cardiff city centre.

A spokesperson for the force said the officer was alleged to have been involved in a "physical and verbal altercation" with two members of the public on September 30 last year while off-duty at Brewhouse on St Mary Street. The spokesperson added: "During the altercation, CCTV footage showed PC Rohman hit a member of the public. His actions resulted in him being restrained by door staff in public view and arrested for being drunk and disorderly.

"An investigation from Gwent Police’s professional standards department found that the former officer had breached the professional standards behaviour regarding ‘authority, respect and courtesy’, ‘discreditable conduct’ and ‘use of force’."
