Cop Attack Chaos in Snodland: Man Grabs Officer by Throat and Throws Her to the Floor!
Violent Assault on Police Shocks Local Community
Police were called to a disturbance on Covey Hall Road, Snodland at about 9pm on Monday 30 March 2020. When officers tried to arrest the suspect, Steven Seeley, 37, things turned nasty. Seeley allegedly grabbed one female officer around the throat and threw her to the ground. A second officer wasn’t spared either — he was attacked and even bitten on the hand.
Charges Laid and Court Appearance Set
Steven Seeley was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of assaulting emergency workers. He also faces two further assault charges linked to the original disturbance. Seeley appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court on 1 April and was granted bail. He must return on 22 May to face the music.
Strong Laws Back Up Emergency Workers
The Assaults on Emergency Workers Act, which came into effect in November 2018, made it a specific offence to attack emergency staff — including police officers, paramedics, and nurses. The legislation has toughened sentencing, aiming to protect those who put their lives on the line every day.
