Policeman blinded by Raoul Moat is arrested

[super jumbe]

David Rathband, who was shot last year by Raoul Moat as he sat in his police car, has been arrested on suspicion of assault

Rathband joined the Northumbria force in 2000. He lost vision in both eyes after being shot at close range during the manhunt for Moat on 4 July 2010. Moat had shot and injured his ex-partner Samantha Stobbart and killed her new boyfriend, Chris Brown. The gunman was pursued for six days by police and eventually shot himself dead.

A Northumbria police spokeswoman said: "Officers attended and a 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault. Inquiries are ongoing."



Was this police mans anger leaded to Raoul Moat to shot him???????????????????????

Isnt this guy still a serving police officer, if he is he should be suspended until the investigation is complete. I know what happened to him was awful but he should be treated like any other able bodied officer.
