NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says a police review is underway after footage emerged of a man being tasered repeatedly by an officer in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The footage taken by an onlooker shows a male police officer pointing a taser at Kris Bradshaw as he kneels on the ground at the back of units on Rose Terrace in Darlinghurst.
The officer can be heard shouting: “Get on the ground now. Five seconds get on the ground now. If you move I will taser you.”
A female officer then can be seen grabbing Mr Bradshaw by the shoulder to try and drag him to the ground while the male officer shocks him repeatedly, including in the head.
Mr Bradshaw can be heard screaming in pain before asking officers: “Why are you f***ing doing that? I’m not even fighting you.”
Ms Berejiklian this morning said she had spoken to NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller about the incident.
