Police in Australia accused of using Taser on 95-year-old woman

A 95-year-old great-grandmother with dementia was hospitalized after sustaining injuries when police in Australia used a Taser on her inside her nursing home, according to local media and a person speaking with the family's permission.

The woman was found wandering with a knife at the Yallambee Lodge home in southern New South Wales on Wednesday, Andrew Thaler told Guardian Australia.

"That's somehow resulted in the police Tasering this woman twice, once in front of her chest, and once in the back, then she's fallen and struck her head," Thaler told the news outlet.
