12:25 EDT, 10 May 2021 A court has heard the moment former Premier League star Dalian Atkinson was kicked with 'substantial force' moments after he was tasered by police officers. David Lewis, Meadow Close resident, told jurors that a policeman was running away from the ex-Aston Villa striker 'as fast as he could' moments before Atkinson was tasered in 2016. Mr Lewis described the scene in detail, explaining Atkinson had staggered before his pursuit of a police officer saw him tasered for more than 30 seconds and allegedly kicked in the head. A statement from Mr Lewis' wife, Janet, then went on to recall in detail the moment she witnessed a male moving as though 'a footballer [was] kicking a football with substantial force.'
