Dramatic footage obtained by the Guardian shows that the man who died at last week's G20 protests in London was attacked from behind and thrown to the ground by a baton?wielding police officer in riot gear.
Moments after the assault on Ian Tomlinson was captured on video, he suffered a heart attack and died.
It sheds new light on the events surrounding the death of the 47-year-old newspaper seller,
who had been on his way home from work when he was confronted by lines of riot police near the Bank of England.
