A police officer assaulted retired football star Dalian Atkinson when he was “no longer a threat” after he was tasered to the ground by her colleague, a retrial has been told.
Jurors heard Pc Mary Ellen Bettley-Smith, of West Mercia Police, struck the 48-year-old several times with a baton “perhaps in anger” and perhaps because she was told to by Pc Benjamin Monk.
