Grandmother, 95, who suffers from dementia, in critical condition after police taser her at nursing home

A 95-year-old grandmother who was tasered at her nursing home by police in Australia is fighting for her life.

The disturbing incident has left mother-of-eight and dementia sufferer Clare Nowland recovering from critical injuries, with her family expressing an opinion that they are now expecting her to die as a result, The Mirror reports.

Police officers claimed Clare was "armed with a steak knife" and confronted police "slowly" with a walking aid, when they tasered her inside the Yallambee Lodge aged care home in Cooma, New South Wales [NSW].
