What is Steve Arnott's Line Of Duty injury?
The AC-12 officer's drug problem is taking centre stage
Season six of
Line Of Duty has us umm-ing and ahh-ing over who 'H' is (or 'The Fourth Man' as Hastings now calls them), while AC-12 continue their search for Gail Vella's murderer. Also taking centre stage this season is Steve Arnott's injury, with his over-the-counter painkiller problem flaring up. But how did the police officer actually hurt his back?
How Steve Arnott hurt his back in Line Of Duty
Back in series four of
Line Of Duty, Steve (Martin Compston) was attacked by a disguised member of the OGC known only as 'balaclava man'. At the time, AC-12 were investigating DCI Roz Huntley (Thandiwe Newton) over the murder of forensics officer Tim Ifield (Jason Watkins), and while Steve was en route to question Roz's husband Nick Huntley (Lee Ingleby) about his wife’s whereabouts on the night of the murder, he was attacked.
