"After studying CCTV of the incident and statements made by independent witnesses and the officers involved, in the IPCC investigator’s opinion, there is evidence of a case to answer for gross misconduct for PC Robert Mitchell in relation to the level of force used on the man.

"The report was shared with British Transport Police in June 2017 and they agreed with the investigator’s findings."

The hearing will take place in York on Monday, December 18, and is scheduled to last four days.
