He was bailed until the end of the month and then detained under the mental health act.
On the evening of the same day, an officer was allegedly kicked in the head after he tried to detain a woman suspected of driving a stolen car on the A46 near Warwick. A 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, driving under the influence of drugs and theft of a motor vehicle.

Another suspect from Nuneaton was reported to bite and spit at an officer while in custody for a public order offence.
