Wheelchair protest man 'wins police complaint' Wheelchair protester: IPCC partially upholds complaint
(about 1 hour later)
The police complaints watchdog has upheld a complaint from a man pulled from his wheelchair by police during a protest, says his lawyer. The police complaints watchdog has partially upheld a complaint from a man dragged along a road after he was removed from his wheelchair.
Jody McIntyre said police dragged him along the road during 2010's cuts protests. Jody McIntyre had been taking part in London's student fees protests in December 2010.
Scotland Yard later said officers had been right to remove Mr McIntyre, based on the "perceived risk" to him. The watchdog said Mr McIntyre might have been assaulted - but the time limit for a prosecution had passed.
Mr McIntyre's lawyer Michael Oswald said the watchdog's report, as yet unpublished, vindicated him. Scotland Yard earlier said officers had been right to move Mr McIntyre, based on the "perceived risk" to him.
