Policeman kneed in the groin by EastEnders Jessie Wallace 'has quit' after ... trends now
A police officer kneed in the groin by EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has quit the job after feeling 'unsupported and exposed' when she was let off with a caution, it emerged last night.
The officer, who was allegedly assaulted by the drunk actress last year, reportedly left after six years at Suffolk Police due to a lack of support from his colleagues.
An anonymous source told The Sun that the man in question believed the star, best known for playing Kat Slater in the BBC soap, 'got away with it because she's famous'.
They added: 'The PC would rather she had been through court and held to account — even if she walked free with no conditions — at least justice would have been done.'
Footage emerged last year showing the moment that Wallace was arrested following a night out, with some witnesses claiming she was kicked out of a nightclub for being 'gobby'.
As well as kneeing an officer, it was alleged that the actress also said 'f*** off you fat c***', before being placed into a police van.
At the time, a witness said Wallace was 'out of control' with 'truly shocking behaviour'.
Another said: 'She was acting very drunken disorderly, assaulting police officers and swearing constantly.
