A father-of-three who left a police officer fearing for his life as he tried to smash a van window amid disorder has been jailed for three years. Liverpool Crown Court heard Luke Moran, 38, had lost his job with a roofing firm after his image was published following violence which broke out in Southport on 30 July. Rebecca Smith, prosecuting, said Moran was seen on footage with a large piece of concrete in his hands, smashing the driver’s side window of a police vehicle with an officer inside. The court was played bodyworn footage from PC James Hayes in which Moran was holding a chunk of masonry, which he hit the vehicle with three times. Judge Flewitt said: “Unsurprisingly, at that stage PC Hayes feared for his life, believing he might be pulled from the carrier and attacked.”
