A Metropolitan Police officer used a Taser on a ten-year-old girl twice inside her home as she was running away from him, a disciplinary hearing was told.
PC Jonathan Broadhead fired the device within seconds of arriving at the flat in southwest London where the girl had threatened her mother with garden shears and hit her with a hammer.
The girl, referred to as Child A, was hospitalised as a result of the incident which the officer claimed was a necessary use of force.
This is the same police force that won’t lay a hand on Hamas Supporters.
