A police officer who Tasered a runaway suspect during the Covid lockdown has been unable to return to front line duties for five years.
PC Imran Mahmood caused Jordan Walker-Brown, 27, to break his back and left him paralysed after a police chase through Harringay, north London, on May 4, 2020.
The officer had feared Mr Walker-Brown - who was running away and unarmed at the time - had a knife and believed he needed to be 'contained'.
Following the incident, PC Mahmood was placed on restricted duties, barring him from working on the front line.
The officer was cleared of GBH following a trial in May last year, although he is set to appear at a misconduct hearing next month.
