Nudist dubbed The Naked Carpenter ‘ferociously stabbed cop with scissors 23 times after streaking through park’
A NUDIST dubbed The Naked Carpenter "ferociously" stabbed a cop with a pair of scissors 23 times after being caught streaking, a court heard.
Robert Jenner allegedly left PC Sean Quinn with multiple injuries including a "gaping wound" on his forehead that exposed his skull.
Bodycam played to jurors today showed topless Jenner, 50, barricading himself in his flat in Maidstone, Kent.
PC Quinn can be heard shouting "put those f***ing scissors down now" before Jenner "launched" himself at the cop.
The Kent Police officer can be heard screaming with his face covered in blood in the footage shown at Maidstone Crown Court.
Jenner only stopped the alleged horror attack when another cop rushed in and punched him five or six times in the head.

Prosecutor Daniel Stevenson said: "The Crown's case is that by attacking Sean Quinn in the way in which he did, stabbing him multiple times to the head, face and neck, by choosing to do that, he must have been trying to do more than causing really serious injury, he must have been trying to end his life."
Jurors heard Jenner had gone to Maidstone police station on June 15, 2023, to pick up see-through clothing that had previously been seized from him.
Officers refused - causing Jenner to reply: "I'm going to strip off now, w*****s".
The court was told police later received a report of a man running naked through a park and "nipping in and out of bushes exposing himself to women".

As PC Quinn had dealt with Jenner previously, he volunteered to visit his address, it was said.
The officer suffered 23 separate injuries - including 19 to his face, neck and head - during the alleged attack.
When Jenner was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, he told told police: "I didn't mean to do it" and asked if the cop was "OK".
He added: "F*** oh mate, I didn't want this to happen, I didn't want it to come to this".
The court heard Jenner claims he was acting in self defence from what he believed was an unlawful arrest or unlawful entry to his flat.
But the prosecutor said the pathologist evidence shows the wounds "had the potential to be fatal" had they struck one of the major arteries.
Mr Stevenson said: "(Pc Quinn) was wearing a stab-proof vest, what was exposed was his face, head and neck.
"That is what the Crown say he had in mind, this defendant, for whatever reason, he chose in that moment to to try and end that police officer's life and continued to do so even when other officers came into the room.
"That is why we say he is guilty of attempted murder."
