Overview
- Lee Fraser’s civil claim against Police Scotland was settled in October for an undisclosed sum, confirmed by Digby Brown Solicitors.
- Police Scotland said it was aware the case was resolved out of court and offered no further comment.
- Fraser alleges two officers tackled him and pinned him against his car during a March 2021 stop in Dundee, striking him and damaging a tooth while he was recovering from spinal surgery and living with brain cysts.
- He was charged with assault and resisting arrest after the encounter but was later found not guilty at a court hearing.
- The Police Investigations Review Commissioner previously dismissed his complaint for insufficient evidence despite video recorded by his wife, and his solicitor cited inconsistencies in officers’ accounts.
