Two Metropolitan Police officers are currently under criminal investigation for potentially failing to provide adequate first aid to a man who tragically died after being stabbed in Thornton Heath. The incident in question involves the case of Usmaan Mahmood, a 20-year-old who passed away in the hospital a day following the attack that occurred on June 13.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has initiated an inquiry into the actions of the officers who first responded to the scene where Usmaan Mahmood was found injured. The officers had been alerted to the incident shortly after 4pm and promptly called for an ambulance. When another police unit arrived at the scene, immediate first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), was administered.
