GREATER Manchester Police has agreed to pay compensation after an innocent teenager recovering from cancer was marched out of his home in just his underpants.
The incident in Salford happened as gun cops hunted a man believed to armed and dangerous and the force insists its actions were 'lawful and appropriate.
Solicitors for the teenager and his family argued in a legal case there was no reasonable basis to remove them at gunpoint. Without admitting liability GMP has agreed to pay several thousand pounds in an out-of-court settlement.
Officers went to a house where they thought the target might be. He was not there, so without a search warrant, they stormed the house next door where the 19-year-old who was in remission from bone cancer lived with his family.
The teenager had undergone chemotherapy treatment and had also recently had major surgery to his left leg, leaving him with restricted mobility.
