[MrScorpio]

Bedfordshire police officers Christopher Thomas and Christopher Pitts both deny the charges against them

Bedfordshire PCs Christopher Thomas and Christopher Pitts are accused of pursuing Faruk Ali, 33, in a police car before PC Thomas attacked him.

Aylesbury Crown Court was played a video from the in-car camera of the officers laughing before PC Thomas chased Mr Ali on foot, in Luton.

PC Thomas, 33, of Welwyn Garden City, denies racially aggravated assault.

'Their own amusement'
He and PC Pitts, 39, from Bedford, both deny perverting the course of justice and two counts of misconduct in a public office.

The prosecution said the officers followed Mr Ali for "fun" and "their own amusement" rather than any "legitimate policing reason".

Prosecutor David Richards said: "The accused are serving police officers.

Faruk Ali was helping to put out bins when he was assaulted by PC Christopher Thomas, the jury heard
"They chased a vulnerable man for no proper reason whatsoever."

He said Mr Ali, who has the mental age of a three or four-year-old child, got up early each Thursday to help put out the bins in his street.
