‘ SAID MR DENIS GOULD PROSECUTING.

ROTHERHITHE POLICE STATION WITH INJURING P.

C.

DENT’S LEFT EYE
AND PC.

TRENDELL’S LEFT WRIST.

‘ HE ADDED.

BUT ON MEDICAL EXAMINATION SMYTHE WAS FOUND TO BE BLEEDING
HEAVILY FROM A THREE INCH GASH ON HIS FOREHEAD.

BRUISING WAS
ALSO FOUND ON HIS HEAD, CHEEK AND BACK.

WHEN SMYTHE WAS ASKED BY MR ANDREW CAMPBELL-TEICH DEFENDING,

‘I WAS DRAGGED ALONG THE GROUND AND THROWN HANDCUFFED AND FACE
-DOWN INTO A POLICE VAN.

‘
‘ MY HEAD AND BACK WERE BEING KICKED ALL THE WAY TO THE POLICE
STATION.

EVERY TIME MY HEAD WAS KICKED IT WOULD KNOCK AGAINST
THE SIDE OF THE VAN,’HE ADDED.

ASKED BY MR GOULD WHY HE HAD RESISITED ARREST, SMYTHE SAID,’I
WOULDN’T GET INTO A POLICE CAR IF I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE
BEATEN UP.

MR GOULD THEN ADDED,’I SUGGEST YOU TELLING A PACK OF LIES AND
THAT YOU RESISTED ARREST, BRINGING EVERYTHING DOWN ON TOP OF
YOUR HEAD.

DEFENDING SMYTHE, MR CAMPBELL-TEICH TOLD THE COURT, ‘IT IS
OBVIOUS WHO IS THE VICTIM IF YOU COMPARE THE INJURIES OF MR
SMYTHE WITH THOSE OF THE TWO POLICE OFFICERS.

‘WHEN THE SCUFFLE BROKE OUT, MR SMYTHE RECIEVED FAR GREATER
INJURY THEN EITHER PC DENT OR PC TRENDELL.
