A small boat migrant who repeatedly punched two female police officers has been spared jail.

Tariku Hadgu, 21, was told by a judge his brain was “not fully formed” and he would be imprisoned if he committed another offence.

The Ethiopian asylum seeker had to be dragged off one of his victims by a member of the public as he punched her outside a bar in Bournemouth, Dorset.

One of them had fallen to the ground after being hit, allowing him to climb on top of her as he continued his assault.
