Three Wellington officers cleared for using tasers on a man threatening a woman and baby; injury resulted but response deemed justified.
Three Wellington police officers were cleared by the Independent Police Conduct Authority for using tasers on January 9, 2025, during a family harm incident where a man, reportedly armed with a knife and hedge trimmer, chased a woman holding a baby.
The IPCA found the officers’ actions justified, citing an immediate threat to public safety.
After one taser failed, two others deployed their devices, causing the man to fall and sustain a serious head injury.
The Authority confirmed no delays in medical response and affirmed the officers’ conduct was appropriate under extreme, rapidly evolving conditions.
