A Rotherham Man Has Been Found Guilty Of Assaulting A Police Officer, Leaving Him With A Broken Nose And Horrendous Facial Injuries

Adam Burgin, 29, of South Vale Drive, Thrybergh, has been on trial at Sheffield Crown Court for three days, following an assault on PC Dan Lumley which took place in September last year.
PC Lumley, a dog handler, was hospitalised with serious facial injuries after attending reports of a disturbance on Pingles Crescent, with his dog, PD Vinnie.
The initial 999 call into our control room stated that Burgin was damaging motor vehicles, threatening to kill members of his family, and was in possession of a baseball bat.
PC Lumley arrived on scene and while attempting to diffuse the situation and arrest Burgin, he was assaulted several times.
