Transcript

00:00Police officers get assaulted, unfortunately, but, you know, I've been bitten, punched,

00:10slapped, kicked, but I think this was just a different form of level of assault to the

00:15point where I just generally didn't know if I was going to be able to get back up.

00:20I just recall at that point thinking, sorry.

00:27I just recall just remembering if I was ever going to see my daughter again.

00:45She was barely one at the time. My wife was going through serious postnatal depression.

00:52She was very ill. And my daughter's got learning difficulties or she's barely walking, she's non-verbal.

01:02And obviously I've got all that stress at home. But I love my job. I absolutely love my job.

01:08I come to work every day and I want to go to work every day and I enjoy getting up in the morning

01:13because I understand that, you know, there's people out there that need our help.
