A man who tried to kill a police officer while armed with Molotov cocktails was closed for life with a minimum of 22 years.
Alexander Datton, 28 years old from Ponticlun, Ronda Sinon Taf, wore a bulletproof vest when he made an attack on the Talbot Green police in January.
Police in the fight against terror said Dutton had been interviewed by officers a year before the attack, but it is believed that he was not a threat.
Daton wounded several officers and admitted he was trying to kill a police officer with a knife and was sentenced to old Bailey in London.
Due to the time Daton spent to detention, he will spend a minimum period of 21 years and 235 days before he can be considered for conditional release.
The court heard that it was also the subject of the requirements for notification of terrorism for 30 years.
Judge Mark Lucft CC said the crimes committed by Daton “satisfy all crimes, have terrorist ties.”
“You turned to the police as the main stone of government power,” he added.
He added that Dutton wanted to make a statement that the government had failed in its obligations to obey the law and its order and its attack included “significant planning” with the intention of “serious violence”.
“I note that your online activity shows an increase in fixation on issues such as diversity, pedophilia, immigration, anti -Islamic sentiment and dissatisfaction with the British government,” he added.
Frank Ferguson, head of the CPS Special Crime and Combating Terrorism, said: “By his own recognition, he wanted to take the life of a police officer to cause damage and spill blood.”
Dighton arrived at the Talbot Green police station in January, armed with Luke, Pillar and Molotov cocktails.
Shaving his weapons, he said on the computer Stephanie Fleming, who encountered him: “I got, I finished.”
Daton threw a Molotov cocktail into a police van, but he failed to light, so he poured gasoline on another and lit it.
He then uses a long wooden pole to break the van windows.
Dighton was summarized and sprayed with Pava Spray, but it had no effect.
He attacked Wed.
At that moment, three police officers tried to hold Dutton and he stabbed a child horse Jack Cotton in his feet, injuring him.
Daton presented himself in court in a previous hearing and admitted an attempt to murder with a knife, tried to arson, attack two other police officers and threatened a third – admitting guilty of a total of 11 charges.
Two employees have been treated in hospital because of their injuries.
The judge told old Bailey on Friday that the officers are in a state of shock and some think they will die.

Prior to the sentence, South Wales, South Wales, said the officers were doing “remarkably well”, but said it had a “deep impact” on their families.
“In the end, officers are civil servants, but they are also fathers, mothers, wives and spouses, sons and daughters, and the impact on their families is really heartfelt,” he said.
“We face these dangers and quite often unexpectedly,” he said.
He said officers should respond to “engaged, lonely individual who is extremely aggressive.”
After that, Soup Jones insisted that Talbot Green remained “a very safe and quiet zone,” but admitted that he had experienced two separate major incidents within a few weeks from each other.
“We increased the patrols and increased the number of Talbot Green officers to protect the community,” he added.
At a previous hearing, Datton told the judge, d -Justice Chema Grubb: “Authority is not my problem -but the use of authority I saw from the age of 15, this is my problem.”
Daton was motivated by anti -government ideology and when he was arrested, he said, “I’m damaging from birth.”
Police believe that Dutton began to plan his attack a month before the incident.
When his home in Pontyclun was searched magazines containing anti -immigrant ideologies and a return was found to the “traditional” society.
Det Supt Andrew Williams from Counter Terrorism Policing Wales believes the initial estimate of Dighton was correct [BBC]
Door was already known that police in the fight against terrorism in Wales was interviewed by officers a year before the attack.
In January 2024, he focused on the counter -extremism program by his sister, where employees made a three -week “detailed evaluation” of Dighton.
Prosecutor Nicholas Hearn said she said he was “vulnerable because he had disappeared before and tried to commit suicide.”
Det Supt Andrew Williams of Counter Terrorism Policing Wales said: “He was directed to us after concerns about his anti -immigration position, his anti -Islamic position and his common racist views.”
He said that Daton was interviewed “long” and “check -ups” were carried out to ensure that the officers “know about him and his story” were made.
He said that Dutton “does not meet the criteria” to be included in the Prevent Program.
“There was no information from this assessment at all, or this recommendation to give any indication that Alexander Daton would continue, a year later, to attack this character,” said Det Soup Williams.
He said he believed that Dighton’s initial assessment was correct.
“I am very confident in the evaluation and skills of these employees and I fully support them in the decisions they have made,” he said.
Asked if he was pleased that Dutton was granddaughter or not a threat, Child Soup Williams said, “I am happy that this is the case, yes.”
Earlier, Dutton pleaded guilty to a arson attempt and tried to kill the Det Con Jack Cotton.
He also acknowledged that the attack by SGT Richard Coleman, a threatening computer Stephanie Fleming, an attack by the Det Con Joshua Emlyn, with an adapted wooden pillar as a weapon, with a knife, a hatch, damaged a police van and a second police van.
