NSW Police bash up mother

[creampie]

POLICE have denied claims they bashed a mother of two when they came to her home in the north of NSW to investigate a domestic incident.
Carolyn Neverov, 41, said police struck and kicked her in front of her 13-year-old daughter when they came to her Armidale home on Tuesday.

“They were really rough, they were throwing me around like a rag doll,” Ms Neverov told Channel Seven news.

“They were rubbing my face in the concrete.”

Ms Neverov, who said she was drunk and suffering a punctured lung and five broken ribs after two officers punched her, was then forced to spend the night in a holding cell.

The police, however, say they did nothing wrong and that Ms Neverov refused medical help.

“The police acted in self-defence with a level of force in proportion to the level of force that they were dealing with,” a police spokesman told AAP.

“Police will allege that one officer was kicked in the groin while another received lacerations to his leg.”

The spokesman was unable to confirm the woman's injuries saying only that police called an ambulance for her after using capsicum spray during the incident but that the woman refused transportation to hospital.

Ms Neverov's family told Channel Seven that she was rushed to intensive care after being dropped home by the police on Wednesday and that they want the assault charges against her dropped.

The police said they will investigate the matter if they receive a complaint.
