G20 protester looked ‘wasted’ before fatal push

IAN TOMLINSON looked “out of it” and “wasted” minutes before he was shoved to the ground by a police officer at the G20 protests, an inquest heard.

The 47-year-old newspaper seller appeared calm but in his own world as a police van sounded its horn at him to get out of the way, witnesses said.

James Stone, a director of investment in the city, was about to visit his gym as he spotted Mr Tomlinson in front of a row of police officers.
