This is the shocking moment a police officer was stabbed in the neck during a completely unprovoked attack.
PS Foster, PS Ansell, and PC Wolstencroft were responding to a traffic collision involving a suspected drug dealer on July 26, 2023 in Whalley Range, Manchester.
But for no apparent reason, Jacob Brown, 27, attacked them from behind with a knife.

On bodycam footage, Brown can be seen approaching the officers despite not having anything to do with the incident.
Brown is seen dressed in black with a hood tightly fastened. At first, he walks down the street near his home, but for no apparent reason, he suddenly jumps into the road to attack the officers.
PS Foster got struck to the head several times as Brown tried to hit his neck.
Then PS Ansell jumped to the defence of his fellow sergeant and got stabbed in the neck, which narrowly missed his arteries.
The video, shared by Greater Manchester Police, shows Brown finally stopping his rampage after being tasered by PC Wolsencroft.
As PS Ansell walked back to the car, he noticed he was bleeding and had a serious stab wound to his neck.
PS Foster placed his hand over the wound and paramedics were called.
GMP said it was one of 75 incidents in the last tax year where its officers sustained physical injuries from assault while on duty.
Brown also stabbed a prison adviser with a pen during an induction at HMP Liverpool last August while in custody after his arrest.
The victim was a male in his 50s, who suffered cuts to his ear and head.
Then in September, he attacked a prison guard with a modified piece of cutlery in front of a shocked courtroom while appearing on video link.
The 27-year-old was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order in April after pleading guilty to one count of attempted murder and three counts of wounding with intent.
He will only be released once he is deemed safe and stable.
