Man, 65, left in a wheelchair after being tasered by police who thought he was a burglar is suing the Met for £10million

Leonard Sandiford, a 65-year-old man, is suing the Metropolitan Police for £10 million after officers tased him, leaving him wheelchair-bound, during a mistaken burglary investigation in east London. The police believed he was a burglar when he was found on top of a wall, but he claims the force used was excessive and unjustified. This case highlights the potential for serious injury resulting from police misidentification and the broader implications for police conduct and accountability.
