Judges have rejected a Merseyside man's claim for £100,000 in damages after he was Tasered by a police officer, but said he must still be compensated for a negligent failure to take proper care of him after he was shocked by the device.

James McCarthy, a joiner from West Derby, was Tasered in September 2012 after a scuffle broke out among a group of men at a hotel on Albert Dock. 

CCTV showed him and a friend pushing aside security staff and punching another man to the floor.

Two police officers arrived and Mr McCarthy knocked one to the ground and ran towards the second. 

He was Tasered twice, the second time lasting 11 seconds causing him to have a heart attack.

The 27-year-old said the incident had left him suffering blackouts, anxiety and depression.

Earlier, judges at the Court of Appeal agreed the officer who fired the Taser was in fear for his safety and genuinely believed that Mr McCarthy intended to attack others.

A five-year-old girl has suffered multiple injuries after being attacked by a family dog in Liverpool.

Officers were called to a house on Wellesbourne Place in Norris Green on Friday evening just after 19:00 where the child was staying with relatives. 

She suffered head, neck and hand injuries in the attack and police say she requires surgery.

The dog, not a banned breed, was injured as the family struggled to restrain it and was put down due to its injuries.

A 24-year-old man from Norris Green was arrested on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control. 

Merseyside Police said he has since been released pending a disposal decision.

Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton criticises Gary and Phil Neville after they both condemned Liverpool goalkeeper Lorius Karius.

He said: "That was a bit precious of Gary Neville to react like that. And then Phil reacted [on Match of the Day]. They're like the Mitchell Brothers!"

After being criticised in the media for his performance against Bournemouth, Karius said that he “did not care” what Gary Neville thought. Phil Neville then suggested the German should "say nothing until he had got a few seasons under his belt”.

"Phil is wrong in my book for suggesting players shouldn't do interviews," added Sutton.
