A police officer pushed his pregnant partner - who was also a cop - down the stairs because he did not want the baby she was carrying, a court has been told. Thomas Gair, 31, subjected his girlfriend Chloe Bradley to a catalogue of assaults and humiliation throughout their three year relationship. She was knocked unconscious and needed hospital treatment after he shoved her down the steps in their home having earlier said he wanted her to have an abortion. Durham Crown Court heard Gair also ran Chloe over in his car, mocked her weight calling her a 'f***ing whale,' isolated her from her friends and forced her to eat until she was sick. Her ordeal only ended after both she and Gair joined the Cleveland police force in 2021 as newly recruited constables and her fellow trainees began to notice that she was in fear of the way he treated her. His behaviour towards her happened before they joined the force, but continued while both were serving officers, it is alleged. Gair denies co
