Man became 'difficult' after officers told him to get into police van

OFFICERS HAD TO PUT A SPIT HOOD ON HIM, COURT HEARD

- By MARK NAYLOR

A FIRED-up and aggressive troublemaker defiantly hurled abuse at police during an "explosive" confrontation in the early hours -and he soon became "difficult" when he was told to get into the back of a police van.

Sangere Murady had a history of bad-tempered problems with the police and he claimed that he suffered a black eye during the heated struggle with officers. Pava spray was used by police in an attempt to calm him down.

He was taken to hospital and, during further angry scenes there, he kicked out at a policewoman, Hull Crown Court heard.

Murady, 36, of Cambridge Street, off Anlaby Road, west Hull, admitted assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker on November 12, 2023. Two similar charges and another one of exposure were dropped on the day of a scheduled trial.
