A SEMINAL British comic book artist was badly injured after a confrontation with police in Hanwell at the weekend.

Brett Ewins, who worked on titles including Judge Dredd and Bad Company, received serious head injuries after stabbing a police officer on Saturday morning at his home in Cowper Road. An investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is underway.

Police were called to Cowper Road after receiving calls about a man who had been shouting through the night. Officers arrived to find Mr Ewins holding a knife before they were attacked.

During the ensuing struggle, one of the officers received minor stab wounds and the 56-year-old sustained a head injury. Both were taken to hospital."

I used to love 2000AD as a kid. You think someone who drew Judge Dredd would know not to mess with the law.

"How would you rate your stabbing experience? Could the victim have been more co-operative?"
