Police taser 95-year-old woman with dementia, sending her to hospital

A 95-year-old great-grandmother with dementia was tasered twice by police at her nursing home in New South Wales, Australia, after staff reported she was carrying a knife. Clare Nowland is in critical condition in hospital. A friend of the family said it was unclear if Nowland's knife posed a danger to police, while speculating that she may have been carrying it just to eat. A critical incident investigation has been launched by New South Wales Police.
