Episode Details

Six Metropolitan Police officers face investigation after a black childs knee was fractured during a stop and search in north London. The police watchdog, IOPC, launched the probe in November to examine the force used, potential racial bias, and the childs age. Officers initially found nothing, took the childs bike battery, and released him, but later arrested him for racially aggravated public order offenses, threats to kill, and dangerous driving. The child received no immediate first aid, leading to questions about stop and search procedures, particularly with children. Three constables are now under criminal investigation for possible assault, aiding and abetting, and gross misconduct, while the remaining three face misconduct checks for not intervening. Investigators have reviewed body-cam footage, officer accounts, the childs statement, and medical records, and will conduct caution interviews with witnesses.
