A Greater Manchester Police special constable who assaulted a seven-year-old boy has been barred from policing following a misconduct hearing.
Andrew Parkinson, who worked in GMP's Bolton district, was convicted of assault last June after a trial heard he grabbed the boy round the neck and shoulders after being 'accidentally' sprayed during a water fight.
Parkinson, of Bolton, picked the boy up and carried him to his parents' house where his dad opened the front door to find him 'terrified and white as a sheet', Liverpool Magistrates court previously heard.
