Police had claimed the 28-year-old autistic man, who had a mental age of seven, pushed a PC in the chest before a Taser was used on him
THE case against an autistic man Tasered for assaulting a police officer collapsed after CCTV showed cops lied.
The 28-year-old, who has a mental age of seven, could have been jailed if it went to trial.
Footage found by the man’s mother showed police Tasering the 28-year-old who has a mental age of seven
But video found by his mum showed the cops’ account did not match what was in the footage.
Two cops attended the incident after Paul, whose surname is protected, allegedly broke a window.
They claimed he pushed a PC in the chest before a Taser was used.
Charges were dropped when his mum Margaret found film showing a different scenario before a trial in Bristol in 2015.
Avon and Somerset police defended the cops and the watchdog cleared them of wrongdoing.
Margaret called for Tasers to be investigated.
