UK court rules man who punched officer in face after being hit with batons acted in self-defence
A music teacher who punched a police officer in the face at a demonstration has been cleared of assault charges after a court ruled he was acting in self-defence.
Chris Bluemel said today his acquittal “speaks volumes” about the excessive force used by police at protests, after three magistrates decided he had been acting reasonably when he hit a police officer.
