Brixton: Met officer cleared after Tasering 10-year-old
A Met police officer who Tasered a 10-year-old girl after she threatened her mother with garden shears, has been cleared of gross misconduct.
PC Jonathan Broadhead fired his Taser at the girl twice within seconds of entering her home in Brixton in January 2021.
The Met Police misconduct panel found the allegations were not proven and PC Broadhead's actions were based on an "honestly held belief" the girl presented a risk.
