A Metropolitan Police officer is convicted of common assault after spraying a colleague with PAVA spray, police and court reporting say. The officer, PC Adam Sahel, 34, is found guilty of common assault linked to the incident involving the use of PAVA, a form of incapacitant spray used by officers. Coverage from multiple outlets reports the conviction and identifies the case as being heard at Southwark Crown Court. Sources agree that sentencing has not yet taken place and is scheduled for September 23. The reporting indicates the conviction follows legal proceedings related to the spraying of a fellow officer while on duty. No details beyond the conviction, the nature of the charge, the fact that PAVA spray was used, and the sentencing date are provided in the supplied summaries. The matter is treated as a criminal case concerning the conduct of an officer, with the next procedural step being the court’s decision on the sentence on the listed date.
