The PSNI have referred the incident to the Police Ombudsman following 'widespread public concern and media attention' after a clip was shared online
The PSNI have said that an officer was injured in the process of removing an autistic female from a shop in Lisburn last Sunday.
She said that her sister couldn't understand why and "became very upset, crying in the shop" but despite her parents pleading with staff to take the £2 and scan it the following day, the situation "escalated" and her mum called the PSNI for help. “Police were called by the female’s mother to provide assistance in the Bow Street area of Lisburn at 6.15pm on Sunday 22nd December. The shop was closing its shutters when a female entered the premises. Officers attended and after discussions with family and staff members for approximately 20 minutes, a 19-year-old female with complex needs was removed from the shop by a family member, assisted by police. One officer was injured during the course of the incident.
