A man has been jailed for attacking a lone police officer in Bradford.
Bradford Crown Court heard how Kamran Iqbal, 23, was stopped in his car by a traffic officer in the Rebecca Street area of Bradford in June 2016.
PC Steve Avinou attempted to handcuff Iqbal for a drugs search but a violent struggle ensued. The offender was found to be in possession of cannabis.
PC Avinou suffered a broken nose and several chipped teeth before a passing lorry driver stopped to help.
Iqbal made allegations that the officer had been racist and had tried to strangle him. However, the judge rejected any suggestion the defendant had been acting in self-defence.
He was jailed for two years.
