Caught on film...thug pushes PC down steps
VIOLENT thug Jamie Dewing will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to assaulting a female Met Police officer.
Dewing, 31, travelled from Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorks, to join demonstrators in Parliament Square in London on June 13.
He was pictured fronting up to officers policing crowds near to the Nelson Mandela statue.
As the Met moved away, Dewing violently shoved a female officer forcing her to fall hard backwards down steps and on to her back.

She sustained injuries to her back and neck which will require physiotherapy.
He was also caught on camera throwing a metal barrier and repeatedly spitting at police cordons. He was identified by a Cleveland officer after his image was circulated.
At Teesside magistrates court on July 8 Dewing admitted assaulting an emergency service worker and violent disorder. He was remanded for sentencing at Southwark Crown Court.

Nicky Dixon said: “Dewing initially denied he was the man responsible for pushing one of our colleagues, claiming it was someone else. However, he quickly changed his mind when he was in the dock, admitting both charges against him.
“Footage from nearby police shows the force he used to push the officer, his actions were completely reprehensible.”
She thanked Cleveland Police over Dewing – but more help was needed.
She added: “We have released many images of people we would like to speak with in connection with this incident.
“I would urge everyone to please take a few minutes to look through these images in the news and on social media and, if you identify anyone you recognise, please let us know who they are.”
Cleveland Police said Dewing was an example of how forces work together. “It shows that no matter where you travel, officers will locate you and bring you to justice for any crimes you have committed.”
