PC punched man in head during arrest, court hears

A police officer pulled a man by the neck and repeatedly punched him in the head during an arrest, a witness has said.

PC Richard Williams, 43, denies intentional strangulation and assault causing actual bodily harm to Steven Clark in May 2023.

Tammy Humphreys lives opposite the house in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, where the lunchtime arrest took place.

In a statement read to Caernarfon Crown Court, she said she shouted out in Welsh: "I'm sure you are not meant to punch him."
