"He took my clothes off…I didn't take my clothes off," she said. "He was the one who raped me, not the other way around."

Insp Campbell told jurors: "Our purpose was to arrest and protect the other officers. I decided to confront the defendant."He sprayed him first but the defendant "blocked" the move and "came for" the officer, jurors heard.

Insp Campbell went on: "I dropped my spray and drew my baton. I struck him or attempted to strike him. I believe I connected with him at least twice."Mr Monzo was slashing at me with a large sword. He made contact with my hand and certainly with my body-worn camera."Asked how he felt, the officer told jurors: "I was disappointed to put it bluntly because it meant I could not carry on what I was trying to do."

Insp Campbell explained that he was forced to withdraw.Previously, the court has heard how Mr Monzo launched a series of attacks by driving his grey Ford Transit van into Donato Iwule, who was "catapulted" into a nearby garden before the vehicle smashed into a concrete pillar and fence.

He went on to hit Mr Iwule in the neck with his sword before running away, it is alleged.

He then struck Daniel, who was wearing headphones, jurors have heard.State and local police used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse the crowd, while bottles, rocks and other objects were thrown towards officers.

Demonstrators also gathered inon Monday, where at least one arrest was made.
