Police were justified in removing a man from his wheelchair during a violent demonstration against tuition fees in central London, Scotland Yard has said.

Jody McIntyre said he was tipped out of his chair and dragged across a road on 9 December, and was hit with a baton.

A police probe found officers were right to remove him from the wheelchair based on the "perceived risk" to him, while the baton hit was "inadvertent".

The 20-year-old said he would appeal against the "shockingly poor" findings.

"Any person with any ounce of logic or morality in their brain would be able to quite easily work out that the best way to move a disabled person is not by pushing them out of their wheelchair," Mr McIntyre said.

Acting Commander Carl Bussey, head of the DPS said: "...The investigation did not find evidence to substantiate any of the complaints and given how damaging these allegations were to the reputation of the MPS and relationship with both protesters and London's disabled community, it is only right that we report back."
