Female officer beaten until unrecognisable by teen

**firefighter** · 27th January 2009, 08:34

Just thought i'd add this to this-mornings delightful news.....

Auckland police communications staff listened in horror over police radio to a woman officer being beaten up by a suspected teenage robber yesterday.

The victim was in Auckland's Middlemore Hospital today awaiting surgery for "horrific injuries" after the bashing in Pakuranga yesterday.

The drama began when the officer responded to an emergency call from the Tiraumea Superette in Tiraumea Drive, about an armed robbery.

After a tip-off about where the robber was, the officer and her male colleague arrived at his house. He was in the shower at the time and fled wearing only a towel.

They chased him, splitting up as they ran.

When the policewoman tried to stop the teen, he straddled her and beat her numerous times in the face.

She suffered severe injuries, including to her eyes.

Police communications staff heard her screaming over the police radio for about two minutes as she was being pummelled.

He fled after being confronted by passersby but but was eventually caught naked by police dogs.

Resident Helen Cohen said the officer was covered in blood.

"She had severe swelling...couldn't see out of her eyes and was unrecognisable," she told The New Zealand Herald..

She was surprised by the injuries the attacker inflicted, considering he was "a skinny guy. He must have been an angry young man."

Jesus why arm our cops again?

Oh wait, just the armed offenders should carry guns some of your fucken retards say.........what about this lady huh? Had she had a gun- proceedure would have been- take aim, he's going to resisit, shoot the little cunt. Better than the result seen here but that's just me huh?

hmmmm, I dunno, I thought they were'nt in yet, but maybe, they were having problems using them out south as the Island communities were concerned that they have bad hearts (or something to that effect) and that it may cause a heart attack for the poor animal being tazed.......I kid you not.

I wonder what the police dog latched onto, to catch the bastard?

**nallac** · 27th January 2009, 08:48

yip arm them,so they can shoot cunts like him...........piece of shit.

That's pretty bad.
A naked 16yo boy, beating the crap out of a female police officer!
Some stories you just couldn't make up.

Does it seem to anyone else that NZ has gotten suddenly much more violent recently, as in already this year -- which we're still in the first month of?
Shootings, and guns, and violent crimes, etc.
The BK incident this morning.
This incident yesterday.
The fatal stabbing in Dunedin last night.

It seems like it's a daily occurrence now.

And how often is "P" a major factor?
Most of the time, it seems.

Yep, tasers are the way to go. They should only be used in situations where you would otherwise shoot them though.
If you have a bad heart, don't attack the police.

shouldn't a properly trained police officer be able to deal with an unarmed naked 16yr old?

Yes well, an absolute joke that the Pi's were taken seriously on this, my immediate yell at the t.v was "don't break the fucken law then!" But typical New Zealanders siding with the poor old crimminals.......

And as for only pulling out the tazer when absolutely necessary- fuck that, let em' have a bit of free reign, only someone planning on pushing that limit should be concerned about the rules regarding them, when you say shit like that, crimminals know you can only pull it out when it's probably too late- you realise crimminals know this stuff eh?

you seen the size of some of the 16 year olds now-days? lol.

Plus being naked he probably had an advantage (no clothing to grab as leverage etc, just wet slippery skin)

I do see your point though......

The only reason I can think of that he'd be able to do this much damage, when naked and unarmed is if he was amped up on some kind of chemical stimulation. In which case she didn't have much of a shot of subduing him without using a weapon of some kind.
I wonder what happened to her ASP retractable baton. Those things hurt like hell. A few carefully placed taps on the head with one of those and that guy wouldn't have had any fight left in him. Even one on the funny bone would do it.
And no, that wasn't a euphemism...

**yod** · 27th January 2009, 09:07

yeah, maybe she panicked or froze? who knows....

if he was that scary I'd either be bashing him in the gnads with the plodstick or waiting for backup

**Dean** · 27th January 2009, 09:07

that would be crazy listening to her screaming over the walkie talkie thingy.bad thing that happened but did you say the crim was caught naked in a literal sense maybe the guy was rooting her (or rape) that explains most of the screaming

No, I advise you rta. He was in the shower when they found him after following up on the robberies he'd done a few minutes earlier. He took of with just a towel, which he dropped during the foot chase.

Pull it out straight away and only fire when needed.

I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned that.
Think for once...
