Rashan Charles with his daughter (Family)
An inquest jury heard evidence on Wednesday from the man who helped a police officer restrain and handcuff young black Londoner Rashan Charles.
Rashan, who was 20, died after being restrained by the police officer and the man described by police as a “member of the public” on Saturday 22 July last year. At around 1:45am the officer followed Rashan into a convenience store in Hackney, East London, grabbed him from behind, threw him to the ground and restrained him.
