On May 31, 2021, Harvey had actually harmed the driver’s side window of a car and triggered £513 worth of damage, prior to harming another vehicle and triggering an additional £524 worth of damage. After cops were called, he withstood arrest and stabbed a cops dog called Kaiser throughout the head with a knife. As an outcome, Kaiser was eliminated from tasks for 2 months with the Met’s Taskforce stating he was “lucky to be alive”.
Once he remained in much better health, the court heard that Harvey had actually been “distraught” and had burst into tears when revealed the photos of his actions. His defence lawyer said that he was “appalled by his behaviour” and plans to run a marathon to support cops dogs.

Following a trial, he was acquitted on all 5 charges by factor of madness after psychiatrists provided proof and reports of his “severe and enduring mental health illness”. Harvey, who lives at home with his moms and dads in Bromley and has actually no previous convictions for violence, has formerly gotten treatment and did not object to the prosecution’s case.
Appearing today (March 9) at Croydon Crown Court, Harvey, from Biggin Hill, was handed a two-year guidance order under Bromley Social Services for him to continue his treatment. As part of the order, he needs to remain in routine contact with his social employee in an effort both to help his psychosis and to secure the broader public.
Sentencing him, Recorder Patricia Hitchcock QC identified that his regret was “apparent” and included: “I wish you every kind of luck in never coming back into this courtroom again.”
