Autism damages case: Met Police lose damages appeal

Appeal judges have rejected a bid to overturn a damages award made to an autistic teenager restrained by police after jumping into a swimming pool.

Last year a judge said Metropolitan Police officers had falsely imprisoned and discriminated against the boy, and awarded him £28,250.

He was placed in handcuffs and leg restraints and put in a police van.
