Seven Metropolitan policemen have been sacked for beating a man unconscious outside a pub. Their victim Gary Stretch is now pursuing a civil damages claim for assault wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Mr Stretch said that he was subject to an unprovoked attack during which he was hit over the head with a broken beer glass and kicked several times. The attack partially severed one of his ears and temporarily blinded him. He spent five days in hospital during which his ear was stitched up. Independent 8.12.90
