Police were justified in removing a man from his wheelchair during a violent demonstration against tuition fees in central London, Scotland Yard has said.
Jody McIntyre said he was tipped out of his chair and dragged across a road on 9 December, as well as being assaulted with a baton by an officer.
A police probe found officers were right to remove him from the wheelchair based on the "perceived risk" to him.
It found Mr McIntyre, 20, was "inadvertently" struck by the baton.
He has four weeks to appeal against the findings, if he wishes to do so.
