Two Met Police officers face misconduct hearing after 90-year-old pensioner with dementia handcuffed and put in spit hood
Two serving Metropolitan Police officers and one former officer will face a gross misconduct hearing after a 90-year-old woman with dementia was handcuffed and put in a spit hood. The woman was also 'red-dotted' with a Taser during the incident in Peckham, south London, on May 9, 2023, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said. One officer initially responded to a disturbance at an address in the area after a call from the woman's carer. The officer found the woman holding kitchen utensils and she was subsequently red-dotted, or targeted, with the Taser when she refused to drop them. The Taser was not discharged. More officers then attended the property and the woman was handcuffed, before the spit hood was applied after she spat at the officers, the IOPC said. She was not arrested and was taken to hospital where both items were removed. It was determined there was a gross misconduct case to answer for one officer over their treatment of the woman, including their use of force regarding the Taser and their communication towards the woman, following an investigation by the watchdog. Another serving officer and former officer, who left the force in August last year, will also answer their own cases over the time the woman was kept in the handcuffs and spit hood and failing to take into account her age and disability during the incident. The IOPC investigation was launched in June 2023 after a voluntary referral from the Met and a complaint from the family over use of force and alleging discrimination due to her age, race, sex and disability. While the three misconduct cases were brought, the watchdog found no evidence the woman was discriminated against based on race or sex. The Crown Prosecution Service decided in November 2023 that none of the officers should face criminal charges over the incident after receiving evidence from the IOPC. It confirmed its original decision would stand following a review in June last year. The IOPC investigation concluded in January. Both serving officers are currently on restricted duties, the Met confirmed. Three further officers will undergo a reflective practice review process following their behaviour during the incident. IOPC director Amanda Rowe said: 'This was a concerning incident particularly given the woman's vulnerabilities. 'It was important that we investigated the full circumstances surrounding this incident to determine exactly what occurred. 'As a result we have decided that three officers who attended the incident should face a police disciplinary hearing which will ultimately determine whether the gross misconduct allegations are proven.' The watchdog said the Metropolitan Police would now organise the proceedings in due course, with no date yet set.

Shocking moment two brazen cops are caught romping in field propped against their police car in broad daylight clinch
A GOB-SMACKING video apparently showing two cops in a daylight romp out the side of a police car is being investigated. A local caught the lawless behaviour on camera in Cyprus, and the footage has the holiday island aghast. 3 3 3 Driving through a rural area on the outskirts of Larnaka, the resident stumbled across a mind-blowing scene in the middle of a farmer's field. Their video shows a cop car parked up in full view after ploughing through the crops - clearly in a hurry. The front passenger door is open and one party is bending over the seat. The other appears to be going at it hammer-and-tongs behind her. Vehicles stream past on another road just a stone's throw away, also with a clear view of the car. The local force confirmed it was probing a video of 'a man and woman". Two officers have been identified in relation to the clip and temporarily dismissed from their posts until the inquiry is wrapped up. The investigation was said to be focused on ascertaining whether the vehicle belonged to the force. One member of the local police said: 'We are not ruling anything out. 'There is a possibility that this is a fake video, footage that has been deliberately manipulated and we are investigating that too. Jet2 flight to Cyprus forced to divert due to 'drunk' passenger as hundreds of holidaymakers left stranded By Wednesday, however, the clip had been confirmed as legitimate. Well-placed officials vowed the embarrassing incident would not be allowed to sully 'the good name' of the force. One source told The Sun: 'If this video is for real it is deeply offensive but we will not let it get in the way of our good name and good work." Social media users had a field day after the video went viral late Tuesday. Commenters said it had 'humiliated' a police force put already under stress from the escalating conflict in the nearby Middle East. Amid the mockery, police spokesperson Kyriaki Lambrianidou called for sensitivity, as children and families are involved. The person who filmed could have handed the video over to police rather than post it online for public consumption, she told local media. Cypriot police responded to a more serious case this week after a British tourist plunged ten metres from a hotel balcony. The 24-year-old tourist was left fighting for his life when he fell from the platform in the party town Ayia Napa. The lad was rushed to the Famagusta hospital in Paralimni, but then urgently transferred to Nicosia general hospital - the largest on the island. Doctors described his condition as 'serious', and cops launched an investigation into the circumstances.
