Did you need another reason not to Bus it?

Police taser a man in a coma because he was unresponsive.

he was on his way to meet friends when he suffered a hypoglycaemic fit on the bus which left him slumped on his seat.

Armed police were called to the bus depot in Headingley and when he failed to respond to their challenges he was shot with the Taser, as this was happening, another officer was pointing a real gun at his head.

He was restrained and eventually came round in the police van, it was only then that the officers realised it was a medical emergency, despite him wearing a medical tag round his neck to warn of his condition, and took him to hospital.
