‘Policeman punched me’
A GRANDAD was allegedly punched in the side of the head and pushed to the floor by a policeman during a five-hour stand-off with teenagers.
Terence Warren was looking after his two grandchildren, aged 10 and 11, on Wednesday night at his home in Hillcroft Road, Poulton, when two teenagers began hurling slates off roofs onto the street.
He said: “I had moved my car so a fire engine could come down the road, and then all hell broke loose.”
Police swarmed the area and cordoned off the road as the youths continued to rip off roofs, smashing the tiles down onto cars from around 8pm to 1am.
Terence, who has an artificial knee, said: “It went quiet at about 11pm and I went out to move my car again, so it wouldn’t get damaged, but was told by a young officer to go back to my house.
“We were just talking normally and I was about to go back into my house when this big sergeant came up behind me and punched me in the side of the head, smashing my glasses, and flung me to the floor.
“He was a giant of a man.
“‘I was shaking like a leaf and was then taken to one side by some other officers.
“I was not allowed to go back to my house to look after my grandchildren.
“I was shaking that much I sat on the floor and all these people came around me to see if I was ok.
“It was ridiculous I wouldn’t have minded if I’d done something wrong.”
Eyewitness, Andrew Quinn, 21, a taxi driver was “shocked and appalled” by the incident.
He said: “I just saw an old man come out and be smashed over the back of the head so hard that he fell to the floor.
A police spokeswoman said: "Merseyside Police can confirm that the formal complaint has been received.”
A 15-year-old youth was charged with criminal damage recklessly endangering life, affray, assault and possession of offensive weapon and a 16-year-old was charged criminal damage recklessly endangering life and affray. |

G20 police 'used undercover men to incite crowds'
MP demands inquiry into Met tactics at demo
* Jamie Doward and Mark Townsend
* The Observer, Sunday 10 May 2009
An MP who was involved in last month's G20 protests in London is to call for an investigation into whether the police used agents provocateurs to incite the crowds.
Liberal Democrat Tom Brake says he saw what he believed to be two plain-clothes police officers go through a police cordon after presenting their ID cards.
Brake, who along with hundreds of others was corralled behind police lines near Bank tube station in the City of London on the day of the protests, says he was informed by people in the crowd that the men had been seen to throw bottles at the police and had encouraged others to do the same shortly before they passed through the cordon.
Brake, a member of the influential home affairs select committee, will raise the allegations when he gives evidence before parliament's joint committee on human rights on Tuesday.
"When I was in the middle of the crowd, two people came over to me and said, 'There are people over there who we believe are policemen and who have been encouraging the crowd to throw things at the police,'" Brake said. But when the crowd became suspicious of the men and accused them of being police officers, the pair approached the police line and passed through after showing some form of identification. ... ... ... |
