Mobile phone video showed one officer wrestling the boy in a headlock while onlookers shout
Images show the moment a 14-year-old boy wearing his school uniform was apparently tasered to the ground by a police officer. Police were called to a property at around 5.20pm on Monday to a suspected "civil matter between neighbours".
: "Get off him, get off him". As the boy breaks free, the same officer then trains his taser on him before appearing to zap him with an estimated 50,000 volts - causing him to fall to the grass. His mum screams "he's 14" and "what the **** have you done to my son?" and the boy's legs can be seen twitching as he lies stricken on the ground. As the officer tells him to not move, people can be heard pleading "watch his asthma, look he can't breathe, he's a child."
The officer can be heard telling people to stay back before adding: "I don't care, I don't care." The footage has since been viewed thousands of times after being obtained and uploaded.
