Ben NEWMAN
running from the Grandstand side of the race track into the middle of the live racing track. I
was incredibly concerned as the main Derby race had started and horses would be coming towards NEWMAN at high
speeds. I was aware that the main Derby race is a longer race so I knew that I had enough time to get onto the track and
attempt to get NEWMAN off the track for his safety. He seemed to be smiling as he ran and I do not believe he had any
care for his own safety, the horses who would be coming towards him or the jockeys riding the horses. I have seen that he
has attempted to dodge a steward and has successfully done this and kept running. It was clear that NEWMAN was not
awar eof his own personal safetyh and the risk he wa sputting on those trying to get him off the course. Due to a concern
for his safety I have run onto the main track during the live track. I have seen my colleague PC 40632 HODGKINS
standing in the middle of the track and have seen him manage to rugby tackle NEWMAN to the ground where a race
course steward has joined him. This was during the live race and I believe it was near the 1/2 furlong marker. I have
immediately run towards my colleagues PC 40632 HODGKINS, the steward and NEWMAN who was detained on the
floor. I have started shouting "GET HIM OFF THE TRACK. HORSES ARE COMING" as I could hear my colleague PC floor. I have started shouting “GET HIM OFF THE TRACK. HORSES ARE COMING” as I could hear my colleague PC
40632 HODGKINS stating he was going to handcuff NEWMAN. I had real concerns for the safety of everyone dealing
with NEWMAN and the risk he had put on himself, my colleagues and the racecourse steward. I have then assisted with
carrying NEWMAN off towards the LONDSDALE Enclosure side as I knew that prisoner transport vans had been sat up
on standby at the entrance to the enclosure. I have turned my body worn video on at this point as I had previously
forgotten to do this when running onto the track. I exhibit the body worn video KS/BWV/01 "Body Worn Video Footage forgotten to do this when running onto the track. I exhibit the body worn video KS/BWV/01 “Body Worn Video Footage

heavy weight and had gone all floppy. We have carried NEWMAN towards a gate exit through the public into the
LONSDALE Enclosure. Members of the public were shouting and swearing at NEWMAN and we managed to clear a way
through to keep NEWMAN safe from the public. The stewards attempted to help us with this. I have been saying "GET through to keep NEWMAN safe from the public. The stewards attempted to help us with thi s. I have been saying “GET BACK GET BACK” to the public who have been booing. During this I have heard the racehorses come galloping past and they were clearly at maximum speed due to being near the finish line. We have walked NEWMAN towards the prisoner BACK GET BACK" to the public who have been booing. During this I have heard the racehorses come galloping past and they were clearly at maximum speed due to being near the fmish line. We have walked NEWMAN towards the prisoner
transport unit and stood him next to the van in a sterile area. NEWMAN has tried to get onto the van and I have asked him
to stay outside until we had searched him. I had concerns that he may have items on him which may be used for locking on
or glue items for sticking himself to the van. NEWMAN has given me his details and also to PC 2511 AINSWORTH. I
have asked my male colleagues to search NEWMAN as per force policy to ensure that a same gender search was
conducted. My colleague PC 41190 BALFOUR has searched NEWMAN. PC 40632 HODGKINS has asked whether
NEWMAN had taken anything and he said he hadn't. I have then been handed four receipts by my collea2101529 NEWMAN had taken anything and he said he hadn’t. I have then been handed four receipts by my colleagues PC 41529 210
