In 1975 while serving with the Greater Manchester Police as an Inspector in Rusholme, Manchester, he and three other officers tackled three men who had pulled a gun in an Indian restaurant, and was shot in the stomach. The severity of his injuries forced him to leave the police.[1]
When the men were arrested it emerged they were part of an IRA unit sent to assassinate North West VIPs. Five men, part of a Manchester- based IRA terrorist cell, were jailed in 1976 for a total of 627 years.
