• Welsh police forces can bid for taser cash

An officer is clearly heard shouting "put the microwave down" at Mr Caine. The PC was forced to use a taser just moments before the household appliance was thrown in an effort to control the situation.

The force said tasers are used to ensure the safety of officers and members of the public.
