Mark Gordon Assaulted Police Officers on Maternity Ward, Court Hears

  • In 2017, shortly after his partner Constance Marten gave birth in Wales, Mark Gordon, 50, attacked two female police officers who were present at the hospital's neonatal unit.
  • The assault followed medical staff raising concerns about the parents' identity, with Gordon giving a false name and date of birth during police questioning.
  • Police struggled to restrain Gordon, who was sprayed with Pava incapacitant spray multiple times before being arrested with help from other officers and a new father nearby.
  • Gordon pleaded guilty to these assaults, while both he and Marten face manslaughter charges over their infant daughter Victoria, who died in early 2023 in a tent on the South Downs.
  • Authorities allege Victoria died from hypothermia or smothering while co-sleeping, prompting a national manhunt after the couple fled with their baby and a trial that continues amid their denials.
