A point was raised early on in this discussion when someone mentioned the fan may have fallen and injured himself badly because his hands were restrained and therefore could not break his fall. If you read the law again about civilians using handcuffs there is a section that reads using them could constitute a crime. If somebody was injured as a result of being cuffed then the steward/security could find themselves in very hot water. This is just another reminder of how inappropriate the actions taken against the fan on Saturday were. The stewards are not the Police end of.
