The Met police are facing criticism after appearing to arrest a woman in front of her son for 'not paying for her bus ticket'. The force has since claimed the video is a 'snapshot of a wider incident' - despite subsequently de-arresting her.
A mum was arrested in front of her crying son after police accused her of not paying for a bus ticket.
The woman was also said to have been ‘abusive’ towards officers and tried to walk away, the force has claimed. Police were working with TfL ticket inspectors in Windmill Road, Croydon, Mr Twist said, only becoming involved when customers without a valid ticket refused to provide personal details for a fine to be issued.
‘She was arrested on suspicion of fare evasion and was handcuffed. When officers were able to take her ticket from her so that the TfL inspectors could check it, they were able to confirm it was valid. She was immediately de-arrested and her handcuffs were removed.‘Throughout the incident, the child was comforted by a PCSO who immediately recognised his distress.
