Mary Jane Takerei has testified in the Auckland District Court today, levelling the allegations at officer Sean Doak.
She says after an extended car chase, the officer pepper sprayed her, and she was dragged from the vehicle and handcuffed on the ground
Takerei says she felt something pressed against her forehead, followed by a threat from Doak to Taser her.
However other police officers at the scene have testified they didn't hear the threat or see anything pressed to Takerei's forehead.
