During a scuffle, McQueen grabbed the officer's PAVA spray canister, and the officer then appeared to punch the disabled man to take back the spray.The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) did not bring charges against McQueen for this incident, but a week later, he was sentenced to 32 weeks in prison in relation to another matter for sexual assault, assaulting a police officer and making threats.

The IOPC statement said it investigated two police constables and looked at whether the force used was necessary, proportionate and reasonable in the circumstances.It also reviewed the general conduct of officers during their interaction with the man, the aftercare given following the use of PAVA and whether the officers treated the man differently because of his disability and mental health.The statement added: "During the investigation, there was an indication that a potential assault offence may have been committed by an officer who used PAVA spray on the man.

"Due to the statutory time limit for assault offences, in November 2024, we referred a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service before our investigation had concluded."Later that month, the CPS decided no charges would be brought."

An IOPC spokesperson said its investigation examined body-worn video camera footage, CCTV images and examined documents and witness statements.

Interviews were conducted with Mr McQueen and the police officer who used the PAVA spray.He tearfully lamented that "we don't have enough cards, we have shortages of everything".

"Some sanctions can be removed immediately using presidential waivers," commented Dina Esfandiary of Bloomberg Economics."But lifting the multi-layered sanctions won't be easy and will require real commitment by the Trump administration."
