A West Mercia Police officer has been sacked for gross misconduct after assaulting two other officers whilst off-duty.
A misconduct hearing for PC Kiaran Wain heard that he assaulted the pair in Shrewsbury on 13 October 2022.
On 14 October, he received a police caution and has now been dismissed from the force without notice.
Chief Constable Pippa Mills, said: "We will not tolerate anyone assaulting our officers, not least an off-duty officer who fully understands the challenges of the role and the difficulties that officers face on a daily basis.
“We expect the highest standards of our officers both on and off duty and take any breach of these standards very seriously.
“PC Wain let himself, his colleagues, the force and our communities down with his actions.”
PC Wain will now be placed on the College of Policing Barred List and will not be employable within a UK Police Service.
