A crazed shoplifter high on street valium has been caged for subjecting an off-duty cop to the most violent attack of his 20-year police career.
Vicious thug Ross Potts punched and kicked PC Steven Notman and tried to gouge his eye out after the officer stopped him stealing alcohol from an off licence, a court heard.
Potts (28) screamed: “I’m going to f*****g blind you” as he pushed his thumb into the police officer’s eye socket, damaging the cornea.
