Police watchdog to launch inquiry after incident involving man with two dogs along canal in Limehouse
An investigation will be launched after a man was Tasered and two dogs were shot dead by Metropolitan police officers in front of witnesses, the police watchdog has announced.
On Friday, the Independent Office for Police Conduct said it was “appropriate” that complaints linked to the incident in Poplar, east London, on 7 May should be “independently investigated”. The IOPC said it understood the “public concern” caused by the shooting.
