Man jumping in front of cars gets official warning

A man has been issued with a community protection notice (CPN) after jumping in front of vehicles on several roads in a Staffordshire town.

He was last seen doing it on Wetmore Road in Burton-upon-Trent at about 09:20 BST on Tuesday, East Staffordshire Police said on Facebook. No injuries were reported, they added.

That case followed similar ones on Princess Way, Main Street, Derby Road, Lichfield Street, St Peters Bridge, Wetmore Road, Wharf Road, Horninglow Street and Horninglow Road.

PC Georgina Brudzinska said there would be consequences if the CPN – a legal notice requiring the recipient to cease anti-social behaviour – was breached.

"Behaviour such as this causes disruption to the community and can put motorists and the individual at risk of serious harm," she added.
