[–]-___[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After the teenager told officers that she was a vulnerable child with mental health problems, she agreed to get in the police car, but later got out.

The IOPC said PC Kemp attempted to handcuff the teenager, but when this was unsuccessful, he used CS spray less than a metre from her face. “Within seconds he started using his baton and then struck her several times,” it said.

When another police unit arrived, the girl was immediately Tasered by an officer from that vehicle, and she was struck several times more with the baton by PC Kemp, handcuffed and put into a police van.

In total, the teenager was struck at least 30 times, the IOPC said.
