After a brief struggle the man is wrestled to the ground with the officer ordering the man to “let go of that knife”.
The semi-naked man replies: “No.”
As the policeman attempts to restrain Leedell he orders the man to “put your hands behind your back.”
The cop then shouts out: “Attempt section 18. Two threats to kill… Release your hands now.
“Put your other hand behind your back now.”
As they start to handcuff Leedell, the state of the officer’s injuries becomes apparent and blood can be seen pouring down his neck.

Rotherham District Commander Chief Superintendent Andy Wright said:”Our officers put themselves at risk every day as they work to keep the public safe.
“This was a disgraceful act of violence which could have had devastating consequences.
“I am thankful that the officers concerned did not suffer more serious injuries from this vicious attack.
“I would like to commend both officer’s bravery during this incident.
“Despite sustaining injuries, they courageously helped their colleagues restrain Leedell and remove the knife from the situation – ensuring no one else could be injured.
“Leedell not only injured our officers but subjected an innocent woman to threats and abuse – making her feel unsafe in her own home as well as affecting others in the community.
“His reckless act of violence has landed him a considerable sentence, serving as a reminder that we will not tolerate any aggression towards our officers.”
