AFP officers used excessive, unlawful force on handcuffed Tayler Hazell, who fled after a 2025 drunk, drug-fueled hit-and-run.
Redacted body-worn camera footage from the ACT Supreme Court shows Australian Federal Police using excessive, unlawful force on Tayler Hazell, a 32-year-old man convicted of a 2025 hit-and-run that seriously injured two schoolboys.
The video, shown during a sentencing hearing on February 19, 2026, captures officers tackling Hazell after he was already handcuffed and compliant.
Prosecutors and the AFP confirmed the force breached professional standards, with an internal investigation citing misconduct, including an officer placing a hand near Hazell’s neck.
The AFP stated disciplinary actions are under review, though officers remain on duty in modified roles.
Hazell, who fled the scene while under the influence of drugs and driving a stolen car, faces multiple charges and is set to be sentenced in March.
A suppression order with redacted visuals remains in place to protect officer identities.
