A shocking video has emerged showing a police officer smashing a glass milk bottle over a man's head during an arrest in Westminster. The incident, which was captured on camera, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for an immediate investigation.
In the footage, the officer can be seen striking the man with the bottle, causing it to shatter. The man, who appears to be restrained at the time, is then taken to the ground by multiple officers.
Public Outrage
The video has gone viral on social media, with many condemning the officer's actions as excessive and unnecessary. Critics argue that the use of such force was unjustified, especially given that the man was already being restrained.
Police Response
Authorities have acknowledged the incident and stated that an internal review is underway. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said, "We are aware of the footage and are taking the matter very seriously. All officers are expected to adhere to the highest standards of professionalism."
Calls for Accountability
Local activists and community leaders are demanding accountability, urging the police to take swift action against the officer involved. "This kind of behavior undermines trust in law enforcement," said one community representative.
The incident has reignited debates about police conduct and the use of force in the UK, with many calling for reforms to ensure such incidents do not happen again.
