Man who assaulted three Northamptonshire Police officers jailed

A man who assaulted three police officers after driving dangerously on the M1 has been jailed.

Lukasz Masko, of Fulmar Lane on Wellingborough's Hemmingwell estate, was arrested on May 18 after an incident on the motorway near Northampton on May 18.

The 27-year-old drove his white BMW dangerously, damaged a car's wing mirror and attacked three police officers.

He admitted driving dangerously, criminal damage and three counts of assaulting an emergency worker the following day.

But on May 20, the day after he was released, he entered a building in Silver Street, Wellingborough, with intent to steal and was hauled back before the courts.

Earlier this month magistrates jailed him for a total of 15 weeks and banned him from driving for 15 months.

Masko must compensation of £100 to one police officer and £50 to each of the other two officers he assaulted.

He must also pay £100 to the man whose car he damaged and £250 to the victim of his crime in Silver Street.
