I am amazed that a police woman has been able to claim damages for somebody throwing a pineapple at her. Presumable that is a risk of the job, apperantly not. She could have won much more damages if she was not looking so well and (alleged) had not tried to pervert the course of justice.

A former policewoman who was struck on the sternum by a flying pineapple during a disturbance has just been awarded £3,000.
