Sidcup Man Jailed for Eight Years for Brutal Attack on Two Met Officers

He must also serve four years on licence after release.

Overview

  • Mark Weatherley, 43, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on 26 September after admitting two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent.
  • The 29 June assault at his Hatherley Road address in Sidcup left both responding officers unconscious, with injuries including multiple facial fractures and a broken nose.
  • Both officers remain off duty as they continue to recover.
  • The CPS said a case built from body‑worn video, medical evidence and witness statements secured the conviction.
  • Police detailed Weatherley’s continued aggression in custody, his lack of remorse when shown the footage, and his remark that he would have done worse if the officers were men.
