  • Policeman fells bikers with rope across road

    A POLICEMAN who allegedly placed a rope across a pathway, causing two teenage boys on a motorcycle to fall off and suffer injuries, has faced a Perth court on assault charges, so reports the Australian Herald and Sun.

    Matthew Gerard Owen Pow, 38, was off duty on November 27 when he allegedly placed the rope across a pathway at a park in Karawara, Perth.

    Two boys, aged 15 and 16, struck the rope with the motorcycle and were injured when they fell off their bike.

    Pow appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court today, charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of an act or omission causing grievous bodily harm or danger.

    He is a senior constable from the Specialist Enforcement and Operation Portfolio but was stood down after the charges were laid.

    Pow will reappear in court on March 31.

        ^^ Same here. But the assault charges would surely not have been slapped on in India.

          In india, the boys would be forced to withdraw the case by the policemen filing a false atrocity case against one of their family members.
          Simple !!!
          Case closed.

            Any idea why did he even place the rope in the first place to fell off the two teenagers?

                  the full story as mentioned says this..

                  The motorcyclists where a couple of local looser ,shithead, scumbags riding unregistered trail bikes (suspected to be stolen)They kept riding day and night through the local park and kids play area at high speed. A few times they almost took out mums with thier todlers.They had been asked not to do it but just flipped people off and abused them untill people where sick and tired of it. The police had warned them but because the youths were juviniles from welfare drawing, criminal familys they had thier hands tied .If they had arested the little shits there would have been an outcry from the social worker,do gooder ,looney left crowd. I guess the guy who was a cop just snapped after watching the shits getting away with total inpunity. Unfortunatly he will be portrayed as the bad guy for stopping what would probably have ended in tragedy when eventualy someones todler whould have got run down and killed. If it had gone on much longer i'm sure someone would have used a gun to stop the horrible little brats.

                      True unless the boys are not sons of any local politician or any other senior officer.

                        lol. i started abusing the guy before i started reading the thread (i thought India, you see ). Nevertheless, justice was done. Hope the kids don't get their driver's license though.
