Footage of the moment NHS worker, Ziggy Desmond Mombeyarara, was detained by police and taken down by a cop with a Taser stun gun in front of his screaming five-year-old son was widely shared online.

He was on a forecourt on Chester Road in Stretford after being clocked doing 72mph in a 30mph zone on May 6, 2020.
