A drunk driver named as James Forrester aged 33, who viciously assaulted a lone traffic cop who dared to pull him over for driving whilst under the influence was jailed today for 3 years and 8 months.
The drunken yob was pulled over by the policeman while driving a Ford Focus in Manchester at 12.30am with no lights, a flat tyre and a smashed wing mirror.
Forrester had got out of his car and agreed to get into the back of the patrol car, but once inside refused to give a breath test. He then put his feet up on the centre console and was told by the officer to ‘Take Your feet off that. That’s disrespectful.’
Forrester snapped and punched the officer in the face and leaning forward bit him on the cheek, before landing further punches.
The policeman managed to get out of the patrol car but Forrester climbed into the front of the vehicle and followed him out to continue his furious assault.
He attacked the officer on the pavement behind the car and then chased him into the road where he knocked him down and continued to punch him in the head. The assault was only stopped when four passers by decided to intervene.
The attack was recorded on CCTV cameras in the street and can be seen clearly in the following footage.
Forrester was found to be two and half times over the legal drink drive limit and was banned from driving for five years and will have to retake his driving test as well as landing himself in prison for a paltry period.
