1. This appellant was convicted of criminal intimidation and of obstruction and of assault upon a police officer in the execution of her duties. She was attempting to do her duty in relation to a possible hawking offence. The appellant was exceedingly coarse and abusive, pushed the officer to the ground and ultimately, as she strategically and sensibly retreated, threw a half brick at her. He said that the police officer twisted the facts at his trial. I do not think that this was so.
