A police officer was left wounded and needing stitches after arresting a Leeds drug dealer concealing an unsheathed machete.
Esrom Tsegai, 23, of Beevers Court, was carrying the bladed weapon in his jacket on October 28, along with an imitation firearm.
The sharp tip of the machete was resting in the man bag worn by Tsegai when he was approached by the police officer. During the course of the arrest, an “accident” meant the officer was left with a large wound requiring treatment.
