Met Police officer tackles shopkeeper to the ground and punches his head
A serving Metropolitan Police officer who assaulted an innocent man after mistaking him for a criminal has been spared jail.
PC Jonathan Marsh, 34, had been called out to Atlanta Boulevard in Romford, east London, on 13 November 2022 after a medical worker reported someone was damaging a sign outside and making threats to kill.
Marsh mistook Rasike Attanayake, who had called 999, for the suspect and bundled him to the ground before punching him in the back of the head.
Mr Attanayake was arrested and put in the back of a police car until officers realised their mistake and he was de-arrested.
Police-worn bodycam footage played to the court showed Marsh pulling Mr Attanayake to the floor, swearing at him and punching him in the back of the head.
