A blind man Tasered by a policeman who apparently mistook his white stick for a samurai sword has lodged a claim for damages from the Lancashire force.
Colin Farmer, 63, was stunned by an officer who was responding to reports of a man walking through Chorley with a sword on 12 October.
His solicitor said a claim had been registered for false imprisonment, assault and breach of human rights.
The police watchdog is investigating the incident.
