Bar doormen commended for helping injured copper

[grove39]

TWO door supervisors who went to the aid of an injured copper are to get a police commendation.

Rob Smith and Mitch Goodwin were on duty at Bar Lorca in Bexley Village High Street, and had alerted police to a man they had thrown out of the bar for approaching women customers and offering to share drugs with them.

When John Horton, then a PC with the neighbourhood policing team, told the man he would be searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act, he threw a package of cannabis on the ground and ran.

PC Horton ran after him and tried to detain him, but during the violent struggle, PC Horton was bitten on the leg.

Mr Smith and Mr Goodwin saw the fight and went to the officer’s assistance.

The man was arrested and later pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis, assaulting a police officer and threatening behaviour.

Chief inspector Steve Murrant has thanked the men personally and they will both receive borough police commander’s commendations.

Notice how they are called doormen and not bouncers when the media is actually showing a good side of what we do?

Good on them anyway
