A young woman claims she suffered a broken foot after being pushed by a police officer. The incident is currently being looked at by the police watchdog, with a spokesperson confirming a complaint has been received 'concerning the use of force'.
Lauren Wilson, 22, says she was on a night out with friends in Manchester city centre when she broke two bones in her foot in the early hours of September 11. Due to her suffering an injury, it was mandatory for Greater Manchester Police to refer the matter to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC).
Lauren, an undergraduate at Wolverhampton University, said: "I was on a night out to celebrate a friend's 25th birthday. We were outside the club, which we had just left. I was waiting for an Uber with my sister.
