AN EAST Wichel man is said to have punched a police car window so hard he cracked his knuckles.
Shakka Artwell, 29, of East Wichel Way, denies threatening police officers and destroying property at Gablecross Police Station’s custody suite.
Officers had been called to the south Swindon development on Remembrance Sunday.
Representing himself at Swindon Magistrates’ Court, Artwell denied the charges and claimed he had not threatened any violence.
Magistrates bailed him for the trial on February 21, 2019.
Six police officers are expected to be called to give evidence at Artwell’s trial.
