The officer who was hit by the chair later needed stitches.

A 41-year-old man from North Weald has been charged with affray and assault.

A 50-year-old man from Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, is charged with affray, causing a police officer actual bodily harm and another count of actual bodily harm.

A woman, also 50 and from Hoddesdon, is charged with assaulting a policeman in the execution of his duty and a 22-year-old man, also from the town, is charged with causing actual bodily harm.

They have all been bailed to appear at Harlow Magistrates' Court on October 6.
