Innocent cancer-hit teenager frogmarched into street by armed police wearing just his underpants
Greater Manchester Police has agreed to pay compensation after an innocent teenager recovering from cancer was marched out of his home in just his underpants. The incident in Salford, happened as gun cops hunted a man believed to armed and dangerous and the force insists its actions were "lawful and appropriate".
The incident happened on September 29th 2019, when the family, a mother, her 18-year-old daughter who has learning difficulties, the son and two of his friends suddenly became aware of a police incident on their street. “I’d only recently bought a puppy so I asked if I could just put him in his cage as not to scare him but they didn’t listen. As soon as I opened the door they marched me and my daughter outside. The next thing I knew they’d frog-marched my son out into the street as well and he was still just in his underwear.
As part of a legal case for the family led by civil liberties specialists, Hudgell Solicitors, it was alleged the property had been searched ‘without good reason and without a warrant’ Alexandra Eldon, a specialist in handling cases relating to actions against the police, claimed the force had committed offences of trespass to land and damage to property, with claims made for physical injury, emotional distress, embarrassment and breaches of human rights.
