A police officer who was caught on CCTV camera repeatedly punching a suspected female shoplifter and pinning her to the ground by her neck in a Regent Street clothing store has been spared jail.
Pc James Kiddie was found guilty of common assault and sentenced to a 150-hour community order and £500 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
eta: It doesn't actually look like she bites him, more like she snaps her teeth at him, no actual contact.
Pc Kiddie, who attended the scene alone, told the court that he was trying to search her bag when Ms Reed bit his finger and claimed she had Aids.
The CCTV footage shows Pc Kiddie grabbing Ms Reed by the hair and dragging her to the floor before punching her three times in head. He then pins her down as he waits for backup to arrive.

I actually have a lot of sympathy for this particular Policeman. She bit him and then told him she had AIDS so it is not like this was unprovoked Police brutality (which is completely abhorrent).

She didn't actually bite him, he claimed she did.
