Policemen pinned a man to the ground and stamped on him thinking he was a missing Alzheimer's patient and refused to listen to his protests because of his Welsh accent

Two police officers wrestled a man to the ground and stamped on him after mistaking him for a missing Alzheimer's patient and refusing to listen to his protests because of his Welsh accent.

PCs John Richardson, 50, and David Littlemore, 35, both based in Thorpe Wood, Peterborough, were today convicted of beating John Morgan, 59, while he was sitting on a park bench with his dog.

The court heard how the officers were out looking for a man in his 70s with dementia who had disappeared from his home with his pet in August last year.

Mr Morgan, who has poor sight and diabetes, was with his Jack Russell, Winston, when the pair approached him.

He told them he wasn't the missing man but refused to give them his name and address, leaving Littlemore suspicious that he was putting on an accent.

Mr Morgan told the court he was then 'dragged to the floor' by Littlemore and Richardson, who twisted his arms behind his back.

His phone and glasses fell to the ground and he said Richardson repeatedly stamped on his right hand, Luton Magistrates' Court was told.
