Two police officers filmed leaving an incapacitated woman in bus lane on a Derry street have been moved from any duties which would bring them into direct contact with members of the public.
The police officers laying Ms Mongan in the bus lane.
The “repositioning” follows a recommendation from the Police Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire who has initiated an independent investigation into the incident which took place in John Street at around teatime on St Patrick’s Day.
The woman involved, Bridget Mongan (30), has called for the officers to be sacked, claiming she could have been killed after they picked her up from the middle the road and laid her in a bus lane before driving off.
Acting Deputy Chief Constable Alistair Finlay said the “repositioning” of the officers was “without any prejudice to them or the continuing investigation by the police ombudsman’s office.”
It will be reconsidered at the end of the ombudsman’s inquiry.
