The police ombudsman's rejected claims police acted in a sectarian manner.
Have a listen to Iveren McCallion with the details:
In a statement, the police ombudsman released this information:
"A Police Ombudsman investigator checked relevant police records, which revealed that eight police officers had been in the area dealing with an unrelated issue at about the time stated by the complainant.
"They did not include the officer [the alleged victim] accused of assaulting him, who was found to have been off duty at the time.
"Notebooks belonging to all eight officers were examined, and none contained any reference to the complainant or the use of CS Spray.
"The CS Spray canister registered to the officer identified by the complainant was weighed, and this showed it had not been used.
"The investigator also noted that the complainant had failed to produce mobile phone video footage of the alleged incident, which he had earlier suggested was available.
"Given the lack of evidence to substantiate the complaint, the investigator rejected the man’s claims and closed the case as unsubstantiated."
