A police dog handler appeared in court today (Wed) charged with racially aggravated wounding after a traveller was bitten by his animal.

PC Paul Birch, 50, was responding to a report of roof tiles being stolen from the site of the former North Worcestershire Golf Course when the man was injured.

Travellers had set up an illegal camp at the venue in Northfield, near Birmingham, when police were called on September 4 last year.

Birch’s police dog bit Andrew Cash who was taken to hospital.

Today (Wed) Birch appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court charged with racially
aggravated wounding, religiously aggravated wounding and grievous bodily harm.

Birch, of Birmingham, only spoke to confirm his name, age, address and nationality during the ten minute hearing.

The West Midlands Police officer was bailed and ordered to return to Birmingham Crown Court next month for a plea hearing.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
