The police officer who attacked Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests will be accused of "inadvertently causing or contributing" to his death at a gross misconduct hearing, it was revealed today.
PC Simon Harwood, a member of the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group, was today served with papers accusing him of responsibility for the death of Tomlinson, a 47-year-old newspaper seller.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced Harwood would not face criminal any prosecution in July. An inquest into the death is expected to take place next year, and will be presided over by a senior judge, Peter Thornton QC. The Guardian
