Luke Denny bit pieces from the top of the suit and then had to have the shorts section of the suit taken off him by a detention officer.

Denny, 19, of Grasmere Road, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to causing £55 of damage to the two-piece self-harm suit belonging to Lancashire police and of being drunk and disorderly.
