A violent thug who attacked three police officers at the same time while on bail for biting a fourth has been jailed.
Clinton Barnes sank his teeth into the arm of a PC at the height of the Covid outbreak, leaving him concerned about contracting disease. Then while awaiting the resolution of that case, he struck again.
A court heard he punched and strangled a male officer while simultaneously kicking his female colleague in the head and also caught another officer with a kick. Now Barnes, who already had six previous convictions for attacking police among the 90 offences on his record, has been locked up for 16 months at Newcastle Crown Court.
