''A police officer will face trial for manslaughter over the death of newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests.
PC Simon Harwood, 43, a Metropolitan police officer, has been told he is to face criminal proceedings for striking Tomlinson with a baton and pushing him to the ground in April 2009.
Tomlinson, 47, had been trying to make his way home from work through demonstrations near the Bank of England when he was pushed from behind. He collapsed and died three minutes later.
The decision to prosecute Harwood was announced at the office of the Crown Prosecution Service, shortly after Tomlinson's family were personally informed.''
