FOUR police officers were attacked in an incident in Hereford.

Joshua David Harrison pleaded guilty to four charges when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford.

The 29-year-old had assaulted four police officers acting in the course of their duties in Hereford between December 19 and 20, prosecutor Shafquat Reaz said.

Marilena Di Vitantonio, for Harrison, said he has autism and Aspergers and is known to the learning disability team and requested the hearing to be adjourned to allow for an expert report to be produced.

Harrison, of Golden Post, Hereford, will appear before Hereford magistrates for sentencing on August 25.
