The IOPC was initially not set to look at the case of a 13-year-old boy confronted by armed police.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct will launch an investigation after a 13-year-old boy was surrounded by armed police when his water pistol was mistaken for a gun.
The IOPC initially said the Met should investigate the complaint, but has now pledged to launch its own inquiry after the boy's mother raised concerns.The boy was having a water fight with his sibling on 19 July when a police officer on patrol reported a potential firearms incident, campaign group the Alliance for Police Accountability said.
"In the light of the mother's statement yesterday , and the concerns that have been expressed by the local community in Hackney and more widely, we've reconsidered our decision and will now investigate this independently," she said.
