A man in an Essex town is accused of trying to murder a police officer.
Essex Police said a police officer was attacked when they arrived at a situation in Canvey Island, which is close to Southend-on-Sea, at around 4am on Saturday.
The police officer was brought to the hospital because they hurt their neck, but they have been released now.
David Coe, who is 45 years old, has been accused of trying to kill someone as part of a police investigation.
The person from Canvey Town has been kept in custody and is scheduled to go to court in Southend tomorrow.
Detective Chief Superintendent Andrew Waldie from Essex Police said that the supposed assault was completely unacceptable.
He said, “Police from our Castle Point and Rochford Criminal Investigation Department have done a thorough investigation, working with the Crown Prosecution Service to make sure the charge is secure. ”
Keeping our police officers and the people they serve safe is our main focus.
The police officer was going to help because people were worried, but they were attacked as soon as they got there. This is not okay.
“We should never accept attacks on police officers as something normal in our job. We will keep supporting this officer while he gets better. “
