Hells

Matthew Chapman, Philip Scorfield, Derek Haase, Johnny Mann and George Coulson have joined others behind bars for the violent disorder in Newcastle city ...

He says he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was "full of adrenaline", goading an officer a number of times and shouted at him "who's going to protect you like". He was also shouting and chanting at police and when officers tried to detain him, others pull him back into the crowd. When a Hells Angel ran at officers as if in a rugby scrum and broke their line, Coulson punched the officer hard in the fact, causing him to stagger back. He was seen pointing aggressively and shouting at police and threw a can of lager at a female mounted officer. Coulson 44, of Beechburn Walk, Arthurs Hill, Newcastle, who has 18 previous convictions, was seen with an England flag around his neck drinking alcohol and was at the front of the group with Hells Angels, pushing toward the police and shouting. Scorfield then threw a third missile and liquid came out of it over the horses and officers nearby before landing near a police dog, causing it to jump. He ignored police instructions to move back and shouted at officers. When he was arrested, Chapman threatened to bite off the nose of a PC. Examination of his phone showed there were racist and violent messages exchanged before the incident. He then picked up a second missile and threw it at a mounted officer. He picked up one item and threw it at the police and it just missed a mounted police officer and horse after they took evasive action. He pulled at the horses nose trying to steer the horse.
