Police Ombudsman investigation after woman claims she was 'assaulted' and 'stripped by male officers'

The Police Ombudsman has launched an investigation into claims that a woman was "assaulted" and "stripped in her cell" by male officers after a mental health breakdown.

A woman in her 20s says that she was assaulted on numerous occasions at different locations by police officers between March 24 and 28, after they arrived at her home.

The assaults are alleged to have taken place at her Newtownabbey home, the Antrim Area Hospital Triage Room, outside the entrance to the emergency department, in a car outside the emergency department and at the Antrim Custody Suite.
