Ian Salter-Bromley threatened to ‘exterminate’ two carers Hull News and Pictures

An angry dwarf impersonated a Dalek by sticking a sucker dart to his head and threatening to ‘exterminate’ two carers… before being tasered by a police.

Ian Salter-Bromley, 55, who you may recognise as the bloke who did a poo on the floor of his local council offices, then barricaded himself in his flat with a 20cm knife.

When police burst in they said he was so angry that the ‘veins were sticking out of his neck’.


Despite Mr Bromley-Salter being just 4ft tall, officers tasered him because they ‘feared for their welfare’.

Salter-Bromley, of Anlaby Road, Hull, was jailed for nine months when he appeared at Hull Crown Court.

The bizarre incident, that kicked off last July, was part of a campaign of abuse in which Salter-Bromley bombarded emergency services with nuisance calls and carried out a dirty protest in a council office.

Hull Crown Court heard how Salter-Bromley, who has an ASBO, exposed himself and spread excrement and urine around Hull’s Wilson Centre because his kitchen worktop was eight inches too high for him to reach.

Salter Bromley admitted a string of offences including affray and threatening police.

He also admitted possession of a knife in a public place after threatening a woman on a bus when he thought children were making fun of his dwarfism.

Defence barrister Paul Genney said the offences sounded worse than they were and that his client was a lonely man who recently had his wheelchair stolen.

On the day of the Dalek attack the court heard how Salter-Bromley had initially been ‘quite jolly’ but his mood changed.

Salter-Bromley’s barrister, Paul Genney told the court the Dalek incident, had ‘got out of hand’.

He said: ‘He had a target dart stuck to the middle of his forehead and dominoes in his mouth. He was in his wheelchair and said “I am a Dalek! Exterminate! Exterminate!””

Mr Genney also questioned whether it had been necessary for police to Taser his client.

‘He is a dwarf,’ said Mr Genney. ‘He has a zimmer frame and a colostomy bag. Not the most threatening figures in the world.’

He added: ‘He was tasered not once but twice. It is a very sad state of affairs.’

Jailing Salter-Bromley for nine months, Recorder David Gordon told him: ‘Individually, these aren’t the most serious offences, but together they take on a different complexion.

‘You would have been jailed for longer if it hadn’t been for your disabilities.

‘I appreciate you are isolated and have an extremely lonely life, which makes you frustrated. But now you have time behind bars to reflect and try to keep your temper under control.’
