UK Police TASER 89 Year Old Man
Police fire TASER at man, 89, who fled care home
The family of an 89-year-old man shot with a Taser stun gun by police yesterday spoke of their anger at his treatment.
Officers fired the 50,000-volt weapon at the war veteran after he disappeared from his care home and threatened to cut his throat with a piece of broken glass.
He is the oldest man to have had a Taser used on him.
The report say he was shot by “specially trained officers” which suggests these were non-firearms officers.
