"We are very concerned about what occurred the other day. And that's why we have the investigation," New South Wales state police assistant commissioner Peter Cotter said on Friday, alluding to a previously announced probe. "At the time she was tasered, she was approaching police but it's fair to say at a slow pace. She had a walking frame but she had a knife."
