Sir Mark Rowley is facing calls to quit after the Met issued two apologies to Gideon Falter following his altercation with an officer that has been strongly criticised from across the political divide.
Sadiq Khan has full confidence in Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley despite him facing calls to quit over the force's handling of a recent pro-Palestine protest, Sky News understands. It comes as a government source said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is 'appalled' at the incident - in which an officer was captured on video calling a man 'openly Jewish' and threatening him with arrest.
' Mr Falter, who was wearing a yarmulke and said he was simply walking past after attending synagogue, was then threatened with arrest if he did not leave the area. He told Sky News that Londoners cannot have confidence in the Met under Sir Mark's leadership and accused the commissioner of 'victim blaming' following the incident, for which he has received two apologies.
