THREE policemen were injured dealing with a domestic incident in Ruislip Manor.

They were called to Pembroke Road on Friday lunchtime to reports of damage to a house.

While investigating, a 27-year-old man entered the house and assaulted them. A male officer and a female officer were punched in the face, suffering cuts and bruising, while a third had his wrist broken trying to restrain the man.

They were taken to hospital for treatment and have since been discharged.

The man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and three counts of assault on an emergency worker. He remains in custody.

Temp Det Chief Insp Thomas Bowen said: “Police officers are ordinary people like you and your family members. They are men and women who come to work to protect London’s communities.

“They went to an address to support somebody who needed their assistance and were met with an appalling and entirely unacceptable level of violence.

“I want to thank the officers who dealt with this incident and their colleagues across the Met for the bravery and professionalism they demonstrate day in and day out to protect Londoners.”
