A Liverpool mum has described how she was brutally arrested by French police in Paris in front of her terrified children.
Crosby based high-school teacher Natalie, 33, who wished to be identified by her first name, had spent the day in the Liverpool FC fan-park with her children, aged 16 months, six and eight, and her adult step-daughter, 25, while husband Gareth attended the Champions League final.
The couple said their family trip turned into a traumatic experience when an angry and aggressive police officer began shoving 5ft tall Natalie, before dragging her to the ground and placing her in handcuffs. Natalie spent the night and following morning in custody in a cell with a "filthy" toilet while detectives accused her of punching a police officer in the face, a claim she says was "nonsense".
