Moment PC leaves suspect in wheelchair after firing Taser during chase
Pc Imran Mahmood, 36, is accused of unlawfully inflicting grievous bodily harm on Jordan Walker-Brown during a patrol in the early months of the first lockdown on May 4 2020.
Southwark Crown Court heard how Mahmood, who was attached to the Met's Territorial Support Group which deals with outbreaks of public disorder, was patrolling the Haringey area of north London with eight other officers when their marked van turned into Burgoyne Road. He had a bum bag on which the officer believed could have been used to carry illegal items, and did a "double take" when he saw police arrive.Prosecutor Ben Fitzgerald KC told jurors: "Mr Walker-Brown did not present a physical threat to Mr Mahmood or anyone else."Mr Mahmood fired the Taser at the moment when it looked as if Mr Walker-Brown might get away over the wall.
He added that Mahmood was taught in training that Tasers cause "intense pain" which leave the subject unable to control the muscles in their body, and that Tasering someone at a height carries a "particular risk".
