Pc Maddie Hayes
A teenager has avoided jail despite leaving a female police officer needing emergency surgery and stitches in a “horrific” assault.
The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, punched Pc Maddie Hayes on the nose in September last year which forced the officer to take three months off work.
Leicestershire Police said the 24-year-old is still awaiting further surgery after the attack in Ashby-de-la-Zouch left her struggling to breathe properly through her nose.
On Monday, the teenage boy was sentenced to a 12-month community service order and ordered to pay £600 compensation at Leicester Magistrates’ Court.
