Bodycam footage captures the moment a knife-wielding maniac stabs a police officer in the neck
Gasping rapidly and clearly in shock, Sergeant Tim Ansell staggers to his feet and says matter-of-factly to a colleague: “Put something on my neck here, I just got a fucking stab wound here.”
What started out as a routine traffic accident turned into every police officer’s worst nightmare – the only thing that could save him was that an ambulance was already on the scene.
The uniformed officer wasn’t even looking at his attacker. He was standing in the road with his back turned when he was inexplicably jumped by a hooded passerby who had nothing to do with the accident and who lunged at the officer and stabbed him in the neck. The attack sent the shocked officer backwards onto a motorcycle that had been involved in the accident.
Other officers tackle the knife-wielding maniac and eventually take him to the ground after shooting him with a Taser stun gun. One of these colleagues hears Sergeant Ansell in distress and immediately comes to his aid. The colleague tries to reassure him: “You’re okay. Stay there. Stay there. Stay there.”
But he’s not okay. Sergeant Ansell’s body camera captures his rapid breathing and blood-stained hands as he’s wheeled into the back of the ambulance.
As shocking as it may seem, being injured on the job is a risk that frontline police officers face every day. This encounter is one of 75 in Greater Manchester this year in which officers have been injured. Today, GMP has released footage of the horrific incident to illustrate the danger that frontline police officers face every day.
In April, her attacker Jacob Brown, 27, of Wood Road, Whalley Range, was sentenced to indefinite hospitalization until he was deemed safe and stable for release, on one count of attempted murder and three counts of wounding with intent.
