Policeman blinded by laser
By Web Reporter
A POLICE officer was partially blinded after a green laser pen was shone into the car he was driving in Hertford.
The cop was in an unmarked vehicle in Ware Road when it is believed the offender flashed a laser which hit the rear-view mirror and was reflected into the officer's eyes.
He suffered partial blindness, pain and discomfort to his left eye. He was treated by a doctor and the blindness subsided the next day, but he has since endured headaches that are thought to have been caused by the laser.
Investigating officer PC Ian Minnis, of Hoddesdon police station's area crime group, said: "This is highly dangerous and as we have seen, has caused injuries to a police officer.
"We believe that other drivers may have fallen victim to this and would urge them to contact us if they have any information on 0845 3300222."
# A 31-year-old Hertford man has been arrested in connection with the incident on October 17, 1.52am. He has been bailed until November.
