A Jamaican crack addict living in Wandsworth who bit a police officer and left him in fear of HIV will be kicked out of Britain, after serving a three- year jail sentence.

PC Paul Szewcyk still has the imprint of Leroy Wiseman's teeth on his biceps. It will be the second time the illegal immigrant will be sent back to his native country.

The policeman was attacked after he tried to stop and search Wiseman in Brixton.

The heavily-built 34-year-old threw the officer against a set of railings, fracturing his thumb in two places, Southwark Crown Court heard.

He then sank his teeth into PC Szewcyk, who had an agonising three-day wait before blood test results showed he was free of HIV and hepatitis.

The officer had to take eight weeks off work following the incident.

He said: "The pressure was unbearable for myself and my family. The defendant was a known drug user which put him in a high-risk group and, given the length of time his jaws were in my biceps, there was a good chance he could have passed something on to me."

Wiseman, an illegal immigrant with children in Jamaica and Britain, claimed he panicked because he had large amounts of crack cocaine in his car.

Police found 42 wraps of the class A drug in a bag underneath a seat in his Vauxhall Vectra.

Wiseman pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and possession of crack cocaine.

Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC told him: "You initiated a violent and deliberate struggle with the police officer, who was rightfully going about his duty.

"The marks of your vicious attack are still visible today.

"You are a large, strong man and the way in which you reacted must have been frightening."

The judge praised PC Szewcyk for his "commendable courage" in the incident, on November 20 last year.

Wiseman, of West House Close, Princes Way, Wandsworth, was given 30 months in jail for the assault and a six-month consecutive sentence for possession of the cocaine.
