A PC put a fellow cop in hospital with an attack at a rugby match, then said: "He ran into my fist," a court heard yesterday.

Pc Brett O'Hagan, 31, is accused of punching and kicking Detective constable Gareth Bishop, 38, breaking his nose. Both work for South Wales police but were on opposing sides, Newport Crown Court was told. O'Hagan, of Porth, Rhondda, denies wounding, claiming self-defence. Trial continues. Report Ends:

PIF: Was there a shortage of members of the public to abuse so in their frustration they abused each other instead. This shows the addiction in the police forces for violence and the need to use it under any circumstance or just as recreation, which is backed and supported by the police authority,s and underpinned by the power of their warrants. Was this a clash of two "Bigoted Enforcers"? This show of uncontrolled violent assault should end in the dismissal of the offending officers in the interest of public safety.
