A POLICE officer was reportedly 'squirted' in the face with breast milk in an assault in the line of duty overnight.

Luckily he was not reported hurt and Warrington Police saw the funny side of the incident.

In a separate episode a woman was taken into custody at Asda in Birchwood after allegedly stealing a trolley full of groceries.

And later, in an unrelated incident, a man was arrested in Bewsey for allegedly being in possession of a baseball bat following an altercation in the street.
