The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirms it is investigating the conduct of two police officers who responded to the stabbing of Henry Nowak. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the investigation focuses on whether the officers failed to recognise that Nowak needed urgent medical assistance and whether they did not provide the immediate first aid he required at the scene. The IOPC’s role is to assess alleged failings in police response and handling of incidents involving members of the public. The sources agree that the matter is being examined as a gross misconduct matter, linked to the officers’ actions during the initial response after Nowak was stabbed. The outlets do not indicate any final outcome of the investigation, and details beyond the alleged failure to identify the level of medical urgency and provide immediate first aid are not consistently specified in the available summaries. The IOPC investigation is ongoing, and both the scope and findings will depend on evidence gathered as part of the process.
