The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said video images of one of his officers appearing to strike Tomlinson minutes before he collapsed and death "raise obvious concerns" and should be fully investigated.

The video, now in the hands of the Independent Police Complaints Commission, shows Tomlinson, who was not part of the G20 protests, apparently being pushed to the ground by a policeman in riot gear.

The IPCC has appealed for witnesses to the incident to come forward.
