A Palestine Action activist broke a police officer’s back after hitting her with a sledgehammer, a court heard.

Bodyworn footage shows the alleged attack in which Samuel Corner struck the screaming officer twice on the back at Israeli company Elbit Systems’ site in Bristol.

Sgt Kate Evans’ spine was fractured and left her unable to return to work for three months, jurors heard.

Six activists are accused of carrying out the break-in using a prison van in the early hours of Aug 6.

Corner denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
