A mum who claims her disabled son was “rugby tackled” by an officer while on his way home from a Leeds United match has lodged a formal complaint with police.
The 16-year-old, who has a number of neurological conditions, was travelling home from Elland Road following the Whites’ home fixture versus Southampton on Saturday, May 4. His mum said the teenager has previously undergone complex neurosurgery and has an “intricate tubing system in his brain”, had travelled on a bus to the Middleton area with his uncle when the alleged incident took place.
She told the YEP: “My son’s natural reaction was to pull his arm back. He’s then been thrown against a railing and rugby tackled to the ground. “My son was shouting that he has a medical condition but he was ignored. He was in total shock. My brother said it was horrendous.” Sign up today and get the latest headlines delivered straight to your inbox, with the YEP’s free newsletter She added: “Once the officer realised it was mistaken identity, he jumped off my son and left.
