Prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that A1 assaulted a public officer or that A2 assaulted a public officer, carried an offensive weapon with intent to harm, or intentionally caused unlawful damage. The explanations of the accused were accepted as reasonably probable, and prosecution's evidence was inconsistent and unsubstantiated. Any doubt must inure to the benefit of the accused.
