Anger as West Midlands police officer who attacked woman in street is not jailed

PC Oliver Banfield, 25, a probationary officer with West Midlands police, grabbed Emma Homer as she walked home in July last year and tried to tackle her to the ground.

The court heard that Banfield used techniques taught during police training to grab Homer by the neck and try to pull her to the ground as she screamed.

Homer, 36, managed to flee from the scene in Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, as Banfield called her a “fukking slag”, the Mirror reported.

Banfield admitted a charge of assault by beating and was sentenced at Leicester magistrates court on Friday to a 14-week curfew, banning him from leaving his house between 7pm and 7am.

He was ordered to pay his victim £500 compensation and court costs totalling £180.

Banfield’s lawyer argued against a sentence of community service, saying it would be difficult for him to work with criminals.
