IPCC investigating Metropolitan Police Service contact with man in Feltham
The Independent Police Complaints
Commission is investigating the circumstances surrounding a 48-year-old man
sustaining serious injuries at a house in West London on Tuesday morning (13
May 2014).
According to initial police
information, officers from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) were at
the house in Feltham when the man sustained injuries to his neck. He was taken
to a central London hospital, where he remains in a serious
condition.
The
IPCC’s independent investigation began following a referral from the MPS shortly before
midday on Tuesday. IPCC investigators and an independent forensic scientist
were sent to the scene in Feltham to gather evidence, and are continuing to
carry out a number of inquiries.
IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen
said: "Our investigation will examine police contact with the man, and will
seek to determine how he sustained his injuries.
"Our family liaison
managers have met with his family to explain our role, and will be keeping them
updated on the progress of our investigation.
"As the
IPCC investigation is at an early stage, we are unable to provide any
additional information at this time.”
