A policeman who blew vape smoke at a member of the public and strangled him until he passed out has been jailed.
PC Tyler McWalter, 30, choked Charlie Pottow while on a night out during an unprovoked attack in Dorset.
The off-duty officer lunged towards the victim and placed his arm around his neck before dragging him to the floor, Southampton Magistrates Court heard.
PC McWalter, from Kinver, Staffordshire, was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of intentional strangulation.
The court heard he was pulled off Mr Pottow by door staff at Kika Beach bar in Weymouth, Dorset, following the event in September last year.
