A Metropolitan Police officer has admitted to kicking a Surrey Police constable in the stomach, while appearing in court this morning (Friday, September 13). Kimberley Marshall, 40, from Bracknell, pleaded guilty to one charge or assaulting an emergency worker at Staines Magistrates' Court.

Ms Marshall, a serving police constable at the Metropolitan Police Service, was being arrested for an unrelated offence on December, 28, 2023, Surrey Police said. She then assaulted a Surrey Police constable when she kicked them in the stomach.

No further action has been taken on the initial arrest, Surrey Police said, but Ms Marshall was given a six-month conditional discharge for the offence.

This comes as another Met Police officer was in court today in relation to the alleged assault of a woman accused of evading a bus fare in Croydon. PC Perry Lathwood had been fined for assault after wrongfully arresting a woman for bus fare evasion but today (Friday, September 13) had his conviction quashed at Southwark Crown Court.

He remains on restricted duties pending the outcome of the misconduct process.
