A man who had just been arrested for assaulting a police officer and was in custody made an advance and tried to kiss a female detention officer. In the early hours of January 5, officers were dispatched to Jameel Malik’s home in Hankey Street, Millfield, Peterborough, after receiving a call.
When officers arrived, Malik, 50, initially ran away but was stopped to check on his welfare. It was established that no offences had been committed.
However, he was arrested after he tried to punch one of the officers before spitting in his face. During his detention in custody, he made an advance towards a female detention officer and tried to kiss her on the lips, resulting in him being further arrested.

Malik was charged with assaulting an emergency worker and sexual assault. He appeared at Peterborough Crown Court yesterday (24 April), where he was sentenced to a six-month Drug Rehabilitation Requirement (DRR) and a 30-day Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) after previously admitting the offences.
He has also been ordered to pay £300 in compensation to each of the victims.
PC Aaron Young, who investigated, said: “When coming to work, officers are aware of the nature of policing and that they may face the unknown. However, what Malik put these officers through was completely unacceptable and I am glad that the courts have recognised that.”
