Terrifying struggle as man attempts to stab police officer

Shocking body-worn camera footage shows the terrifying moment a police officer was nearly stabbed as he grappled with a drug-crazed knifeman.



Sean Higgins, 40, was jailed for nine years after a jury found him guilty of attempted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for the terrifying attack - after he called police to his home.



His would-be victim PC Daniel Stride was protected from serious injury by a stab proof vest, Maidstone Crown Court heard.



And despite the violent attack the officer walked away with just a 'paper-cut' to the hand.



It was said Higgins made a 999 call to police saying someone was in his back garden near Ashford in Kent on June 1 last year.



But when PC Stride and another colleague arrived at the house Higgins, who was high on cocaine, began to attack his TV with a knife.
