London drug dealer jailed after biting Swansea police officer

A man from London bit a police officer as he was being arrested for his role in supplying Class A drugs.

25-year-old Abdullah Saed, from Penge, was arrested on Matthew Street in Waun Wen, Swansea on March 31 this year after officers stopped him while he was in possession of white carrier bag and trying to gain access to an address.

Saed was in possession of a key to a vehicle which, when searched, contained four bags of cocaine, several bags of cannabis totalling 236 grams, cash and a phone. Saed attempted to throw the key to the vehicle away during his arrest.

Saed pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis and assault of an emergency worker.

He has been sentenced to 32 months in prison.

Sergeant Amy Joseph said:

“Abdullah Saed was clearly in Swansea for the sole purpose of filling the streets with his Class A and B drugs.

“When caught red-handed, Saed, who was known to have an infectious disease, bit an officer; a reprehensible act for which he showed no remorse at all during the investigation.

“It is pleasing therefore that he has been put away.”
