Family of man who died in Taser incident call for inquiry into Met to be widened

Family of Oladeji Omishore allege police failed to correct reports he was armed with screwdriver

The family of a man who died after falling into the Thames after police repeatedly fired a Taser at him have called for an investigation into alleged misinformation put out by Scotland Yard.

Oladeji Omishore, 41, clashed with officers on Chelsea Bridge, west London, just after 9am on Saturday 4 June. The Met said they were called to reports of a man clutching a screwdriver who was causing a disturbance.
