One officer was bitten on the arm during the assault
A wanted man has been sentenced after assaulting four police officers who took him to hospital to receive medical treatment. Police took Steven Unwin, 42, to the Queen’s Medical Centre on January 12, 2022, after they found him injured in Russell Drive, Wollaton – seemingly because he was heavily intoxicated and had fallen over.
As they waited, Unwin asked to be uncuffed so that he could remove his coat. The officers obliged but when they went to put Unwin back in handcuffs he refused and became aggressive. The officers managed to get him back in handcuffs and a short time later he was assessed by a doctor, who found his injuries from his earlier fall were minor and so discharged him. Unwin, of no fixed address, was taken into custody and charged with assaulting four police officers, along with the previous assault – which was on a prison guard at HMP Nottingham in 2021, where Unwin was serving a sentence for previous matters.
“To assault a police officer, prison officer, or other emergency service worker should never be accepted as ‘part of the job’. As the force has repeatedly shown, we will not hesitate to prosecute those who put the safety of our 999 staff at risk in this way when they are working hard to do their job and serve the public.
