A Metropolitan police officer accused of Tasering a 10 year-old-girl twice will face a misconduct hearing later this year.

PC Jonathan Broadhead allegedly used unreasonable force against the child when he twice deployed the weapon at the girl’s home in south London.

The Crown Prosecution Service declined to prosecute the officer for excessive use of force over the incident in January 2021.

But the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) determined he did have a case to answer for gross misconduct “in relation to the Tasering of a 10-year-old girl”.
