THE constable who was hospitalised for Covid days after being spat at by a man in Bournemouth is now back on frontline policing duties PC Joe Terry tested positive for the coronavirus a few days after the incident in Charminster Road, Bournemouth, on January 6. Along with a colleague, he'd been arresting a man for being drunk and disorderly, when he was intentionally spat at with force. Steven Licorish, 41, of no fixed abode, has since pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating of an emergency worker and is due to be sentenced next month. Two days after the incident PC Terry developed Covid-19 symptoms, and subsequently tested positive for the virus.
