West Midlands Police tweeted pictures of the damaged shields which were spattered with harmful chemicals on Sunday (11/8).
The force tweeted: “This is what our officers have had to deal with this afternoon.

“After officers forced entry he attacked them with physical violence and threw unknown chemicals at them.”
Ambulance and fire crews also scrambled to the scene of the incident.
It is the latest terrifying attack on police in Birmingham over the weekend.
