A UK regional police chief has promised Tasers for all his frontline police after one of his officers was attacked on duty and narrowly escaped with his life.

Nick Adderley, the chief constable of Northamptonshire police, made the pledge on Monday after the officer was saved from being strangled to death when a colleague deployed a Taser on his assailant.
