For more than 10 years, homeless father Pierino Taranto returned to a Box Hill street to sit on a brick fence outside his former family home.
On Wednesday, a mandatory coronial inquest into Mr Taranto's death heard an undiagnosed medical condition that resulted in his spine fusing had probably increased his risk of a bone fracture when, police said, he tripped and fell face-down onto a nature strip while in handcuffs.
Sergeant Farrell said he arrived on scene within minutes and struck up a conversation with the 65-year-old about coins on the ground. When he was unable to establish the man’s identity, he placed him under arrest for being drunk in a public place. The inquest heard Mr Taranto was compliant during the arrest but, as the pair approached the police car, he turned away from the officer, tripping over Sergeant Farrell's right leg and falling face-down onto the nature strip.
"I have a duty not only as a police member but as a member of the public to provide some assistance and I think the public would expect me to do something."
