Attacks on police in Cumbria hit a four-year high during the coronavirus pandemic, figures reveal. Home Office data shows 399 attacks on police officers were recorded by Cumbria Constabulary between April 2020 and March 2021. That was an increase from the 375 reported the previous year, and the highest number since comparable figures began in 2017-18. Of the attacks in 2020-21, 62 resulted in an injury to the officer, compared to 67 the previous year, while in 337 cases the officer escaped physically unhurt. The figures reflect a jump in such attacks across England and Wales, where recorded assaults on officers increased 14 per cent during the pandemic period, to around 37,000.
