The jury in the case of a man accused of seriously assaulting a woman police officer in Bristol has been taken to the scene of the alleged crime.

PC Henrietta Staveley-Brown, 40, needed 26 stitches to her forehead and eyelid after a pint glass was hurled at her face in a pub brawl involving 70 people, Bristol Crown Court has heard.

The officer suffered the injury when she and colleagues were called to the Wayfarer pub in Southmead after a fight broke out in February.

Damien Gordon, 28, of Lockleaze, denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He also denies battery against PC Oomesh Danhawoor, who was transporting him to the police station after his arrest.

Sean Teddy, 32, of Lawrence Weston, has pleaded guilty to the battery of PC Ross Kilcoyne during the same fracas and will be sentenced later.

The prosecution was calling its witnesses today.

The case continues at Bristol Crown Court.
