G20 death: family calls for witnesses
Updated on 08 April 2009
The family of a man whose death at last week's G20 protests in London was captured on film want more witnesses to come forward.
Dramatic video emerged last night which apparently shows Ian Tomlinson, who died during last Wednesday's G20 protests in London, being pushed to the ground by a police officer.
The 47-year-old collapsed from a heart attack as he walked home near the Bank of England, just moments later.
But what really happened? The video evidence shows riot police beating and pushing a peaceful Tomlinson to the ground.
The day after the April 1 protests police commander Simon O'Brien said police had used "proportionate" tactics in dealing with the G20 demos.
He said police and paramedics had come under fire when they had tried to help Mr Tomlinson, and that the force was keeping an "open mind" about the cause of the tragedy.
