The 'small' knife carried by a teen later arrested by PC Lorne Castle, who was sacked for showing him a lack of 'courtesy and respect', has been pictured for the first time.
The double-bladed 8inch weapon had a Stanley blade on one end, with a retractable serrated blade on the other.
The weapon fell out of a 15-year-old boys waistband on January 27, 2024, while PC Castle was arresting him for two alleged assaults in Bournemouth town centre.
The ex Dorset officer was dismissed by the force after an independent disciplinary tribunal found he had committed gross misconduct in relation to the arrest.
A video clip of the arrest, released by the force on Tuesday, showed the officer tackling the boy, who claimed he needed the knife 'for work', to the ground.
