Moment bare-chested thug goes berserk and attacks five police officers during rampage at hotel

This is the shocking moment when a bare-chested thug was caught on police bodycam footage going crazy and assaulting five officers.

Police were called to a hotel in central Nottingham around 1am on Saturday after a woman was assaulted.

They were confronted by a muscular Daniel Johnson, 39, who became aggressive when police tried to arrest him.

Officers were beaten, kicked and thrown to the ground when Johnson launched a frenzied attack in the hotel hallway.

No one was injured in the attack and Johnson was eventually handcuffed.

Johnson, of Camden, London, admitted to five assaults by beating a rescuer, a racially aggravated regular assault, an assault by beating a hotel worker and criminal damage.

On Monday, he was sentenced to 12 months in the Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.

Detective Sergeant Lisa Jones, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: ‘This case shows the kind of violent behavior our officers unfortunately regularly experience.

“I am pleased that Johnson was swiftly dealt with and jailed for his totally unacceptable behaviour.

“We will not tolerate violence against women or attacks on officers who simply work to protect the public.

“We don’t expect our officers, or other first responders, to be attacked while doing their job.

“The police will not hesitate to take action against those suspected of assaulting a social worker.

“Johnson was jailed within two days of the incident and I hope this sends a clear signal that violent offenders will be brought to justice quickly and vigorously.

“Fortunately, the officers suffered only relatively minor injuries, but they were understandably very shaken by the incident.”
