A TRAFFIC policeman who suffered a broken leg in an assault earlier this month seems to be recovering well.

TC David Minto sustained "complex fractures" to his fibula and tibia in an incident in Boroughbridge during a nightshift.

He said at the time that he had had surgery and there were months of rehabilitation ahead of him.

Acting Inspector Paul Cording tweeted today that he had had a quick catch up with TC Minto, who seemed to be recovering well.

He added that he had dropped off some goodies from colleagues, including Welsh cakes and brownies.
