A Victorian man who beat a police officer with a metal baseball bat, leaving the officer bleeding on the pavement and fearing he could die, has been jailed.
Steven Cleary, 50, was sentenced to three years and two months’ jail on Friday for the horrifying assault in Victoria’s south-west, which was captured on police body-cameras.
Senior Constable Rowan Baldman and Constable William Ringin were speaking to members of the public about wearing masks in Warrnambool last October during a strict COVID-19 lockdown when the attack took place.
