A West Yorkshire Police officer punched a violent prisoner several times after he had racially abused a fellow officer before putting him in the back of his van and telling a colleague to take him to a quiet place where he could "give him a good hiding".

PC Robert Dovey had been called to reports a man was being violent and abusive towards officers - one of whom was the police officer's partner - following an incident in Horbury, Wakefield.

Police at the scene had to use pepper spray to get the man under control and issued a 'code zero alert', before he was handcuffed twice and put into the back of a police van, following the melee on December 9, 2017.

PC Dovey is alleged to have arrived at the scene and shouted "Get him out and put him in my van", to which the prisoner did not respond.
