Merthyr Express
|June 05, 2025
A KNIFEMAN shouted his support for the KKK white supremacist group as he racially abused and assaulted a police officer.
Daniel Barnham was being arrested for carrying two knives in public when he kicked the officer to the chest and launched into a vile tirade.
Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard the offences took place at 11pm on March 30 when CCTV operators from Merthyr Tydfil council spotted the 31-year-old walking around Penydarren Road in possession of a steak knife and a sock full of rocks.
It would turn out the sock also contained a lock knife.
Police were called and saw Barnham - who had already thrown away the sock - standing on the street with a woman. When officers asked if he was carrying a blade, he threw the steak knife to the side.
Barnham was handcuffed and ushered towards the back of a police van.
At this point he started resisting and called PC Tatlah the n-word as well as expressing support for the Ku Klux Klan race hate group.
