September 10, 20201 min read

A yob claimed a police officer was hit in the head with a brick in “revenge” for the seizure of his friend’s scrambler bike.

Convicted cocaine dealer Ryan Blake and an unknown man armed themselves with a brick before seeking out a police car.

The pair set off on a stolen scrambler, before coming across a marked vehicle being driven by PC John Prescott, in Garston.

He and a colleague were responding to an incident and were heading along Speke Road, near the Horrocks Avenue junction.

But as they waited in traffic, moments before making a turn, the brick was hurled through the car’s rear windscreen.

It smashed the glass and struck PC Prescott in the back of the head, at around 3pm, on Friday, February 7 this year.

Prosecutors said Blake, 24, of Hughes Street, Garston, was the passenger on the orange and black Duke off-road bike.
