Police pay for assault on photographer
FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER Marc Vallée has won an apology and compensation from the Metropolitan Police for an assault that left him quite seriously hurt.
He was taking photographs of a demonstration in Parliament Square, central London, in October 2006 when he was shoved to the ground and struck his back on a kerbstone.
He was paralysed for a time and had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
NUJ General Secretary Jeremy Dear said: “Marc will be pleased to have finally got an apology from the police, but it is no cause for celebration.
“It is disgraceful that the police brutally obstructed a member of the press from reporting on a political demonstration. “
