Long-time legal observer Lesley Wertheimer, 71, has complained to the Metropolitan police after officers pushed her to the ground from behind, leaving her unconscious, with cuts to her cheek and a sprained knee, the Observer reported on 3 March.
Amateur video shows the police knocking Lesley, who was wearing a hi-vis ‘legal observer’ vest, onto the road, face-first, during a Gaza march on 6 January.
