A police officer who grabbed a member of the public while drunk off duty has been found guilty of assault.
PC Stephen Maskell, 44, attacked an innocent man while 'heavily intoxicated' in Harlesden, north west London, last summer.
Maskell identified himself as a police officer before grabbing the man and telling him he was detaining him for a search, despite being off duty and having no grounds to do so.
