A disabled 85-year-old woman was left bruised after being dragged across a busy road by three police officers during an anti-fracking protest. Anne Power, a Green Party member and anti-fracking campaigner, was sitting outside a fracking site near Little Plumpton, Lancashire, when a scrum of officers lifted her from her seat. The retired teacher and counsellor, who has had two hip replacement operations and usually uses a walking stick, told The Independent she feared the officers would break her bones.
