The man who died after being Tasered and jumping from a London bridge into the Thames has now been pictured.
The website added that a neighbour, described him as a ‘really nice guy’ and said they saw police searching his flat., which arose after police were called to reports of Mr Omishore shouting incoherently and holding a screwdriver.
Footage shared widely on social media showed one of the officers using a Taser on him a number of times, before he ran to the edge of the bridge and appeared to jump over the railing into the river shortly after 9am on Saturday.He struggled to battle the tide and breathe but was pulled to safety by the RNLI before being taken to hospital but later died.
The IOPC’s regional director Sal Naseem said: ‘Our sympathies are with the family of the man who died and everyone else affected. We have already met with the man’s family to explain our role and we will keep them regularly updated as our inquiries progress. ‘We have an independent investigation under way, which is looking at the interaction between officers and the man on the bridge.
