The officer was set upon by three youths in Huntly on Sunday.

'A colleague was assaulted and we need your help to find the offenders,” says a post on the Waikato Police Facebook page.

According to the post, the male officer was responding to a wilful damage incident on Bailey Street when he was attacked by three youths, one with a baseball bat.

People with information about the assault are asked to contact Huntly Police on 07 828 7560.

3 onto 1 - they couldn't lose - what gutless little a***holes & they're probably bragging about it to their mates. Just a shame the officer concerned wasn't able to get back up - another example of our thin blue line.


Keep an eye on Farce book....

And insta-groan.....These clowns are probably thick enough to brag about it online. Just a thought, maybe like on the 'roaming dogs' story, maybe these 'youths' should also be neutered? I sure hope the officer is ok, some people 'love to hate' the police, but without our police force.... well, I would hate to imagine that! I hope the little 'you know whats' get what is coming to them.... soon.


Just more

Poor, trashy, uneducated, waste of life, youths. Destined for the cells and nothing more.
