The Supreme Court of South Australia has upheld an $854,000 compensation payment for a man whose leg was broken as police arrested him more than seven years ago.
Key points:
Matthew Charles Crossley s femur was broken during his arrest in 2013 by officers using a leg lock move
Earlier this year, a court awarded him $854,000 in compensation, saying it was an egregious and violent arrest
The Supreme Court dismissed the government s appeal against the verdict
