Supt Emma Richards said Kaiser is "lucky to be alive" after suffering his injuries in Orpington, south London on Sunday night.Another officer sustained a broken wrist and is expected to be off work for up to a month, the Met said. Kaiser was on patrol with PC Mark Woolcott at 23:00 BST when they were called to reports of an intruder in the back garden of a house on Luxted Road.'Danger and uncertainty'Supt Emma Richards said the man responsible for the attack has been detained under the Mental Health Act.
"He is getting the care he needs now and a decision will be taken in due course as to whether it would be appropriate for any criminal charges to follow," she said."The events of Sunday night are a reminder of the risks that our men, women and animals face on the frontline.
