G20 death man 'was pushed by police'

A MAN who died from a heart attack during the G20 protests was pushed by a police line minutes earlier, the Independent Police Complaints Commission has said.

Ian Tomlinson, 47, was blocked from passing through a police cordon as he tried to walk home from work at a newsagent, the IPCC said.

He was seen on CCTV in King William Street where he was confronted by officers shortly before 7.30pm last Wednesday.

A short time later, in Royal Exchange Passage, he was caught up in a crowd and pushed by more police.
