Nick Bailey, a British police officer poisoned with nerve agent Novichok after responding to the scene where former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned, said on Saturday that he had quit the police force.
“After 18 years in the Police Force I’ve had to admit defeat and accept that I can no longer do the job,” the ex-detective sergeant wrote on Twitter. “I wanted to be a Police Officer since I was a teenager, I couldn’t envisage doing anything else, which is why this makes me so sad.”
