Clare Nowland tasered and fell on her head The elderly woman, on May 17, had been blocked with a taser by a 33-year-old police officer in Australia, as she walked with her own walker and a kitchen knife in her hand. Due to her impact, the 95-year-old had fallen and she had hit her head, causing a cerebral hemorrhage. Nursing home employees had called the police saying there was a woman “wielding a knife”. The policemen therefore invited the woman to drop her weapon, but she continued to move against them, albeit “at a slow pace” as she was forced to move with a walker.
