- Paramedics went to help woman suffering from a panic attack
- While they tended to Michelle Malone her partner was watching TV
- Couple now plan on taking action against West Mercia Police over incident
- 18 officers – 10 armed and wearing body armour – then burst into the flat
A couple were arrested at gunpoint by 18 police officers and held for four hours after a paramedic mistook their TV remote control for a gun.
Michelle Malone, 46, and Keith Abrahams, 44, were in bed when 18 officers stormed their flat and bundled them out into a police van.
The couple’s nightmare began when a paramedic was sent to their home after Miss Malone suffered a panic attack. As he entered the bedroom to treat Miss Malone, he spotted the remote control in Mr Abrahams’ hand. Apparently mistaking it for a gun, he immediately called police.
Eighteen officers – ten of whom were armed and wearing body armour – then burst into the flat at 1am and the couple were arrested at gunpoint.
Mr Abrahams, a forklift truck driver, said: ‘I was shocked. Having guns pointed within an inch of my eyes is not the most fun.
‘I had been sitting in bed and I’d dozed off watching something on telly. The next thing I know I’m being ordered out of bed at gunpoint. It was absolutely terrifying.
With Miss Malone’s condition worsening the pair were taken to a nearby police station while officers conducted a forensic fingertip search of their flat.
Detectives confirmed during the pair’s interview that the paramedic believed he had spotted Mr Abrahams holding a firearm. Miss Malone said: ‘The police told us the medic had seen a 10in long black firearm being held by Keith as he lay in bed.
‘I suffered the indignity of being treated like this all for the sake of a television remote control.
‘I can only imagine what my neighbours thought. It was like something out of a film.’
The couple said they were surrounded by ten armed officers wearing body armour, eight uniformed police as well as a dog handler during the raid at 1am on June 24 in Hereford.
Miss Malone added: ‘I just remember running out of bed after hearing a bang like an earthquake and seeing police pointing guns at Keith, who was up against the wall. We were held at the station for four hours but released without charge.
‘I couldn’t believe it when I heard they were searching for a gun. I’ve never had a gun in my life – I’ve never even seen one before. It was just horrendous.’
