Police officers tried to search Osman and others as they entered a park on their way to a fair. Osman resisted and assaulted an officer in the process. However, the officers failed to give their names or station, the Divisional Court held that this made the search unlawful and therefore Mr Osman could not be guilty of assaulting the police in the execution of their duty, when he resisted the search.
