Body camera footage shows moment police officer tasered 95-year-old gran at nursing home

In a remarkable and deeply saddening turn of events, an incident involving a 95-year-old grandmother at her nursing home in Australia has captured the attention of the nation. The incident, which was caught on bodycam footage worn by the police officers, has left the elderly woman, Clare Nowland, critically injured. As a result, her family, who cherish her dearly, is now filled with immense grief and uncertainty.

The encounter unfolded when Clare, armed with a steak knife, slowly approached the police officers who had arrived at Yallambee Lodge, an aged care home in Cooma, New South Wales. In a bid to ensure the safety of all parties involved, the officers resorted to the use of a taser, which resulted in Clare falling and sustaining critical injuries. The injuries, however, were not directly caused by the taser’s electric shock, but rather from the impact of the fall.
