The officer is heard yelling 'who are they going go believe, me or you?'
Police are investigating after an officer was filmed threatening to ‘make something up’ and arrest a man.
The clash, which was filmed in Accrington yesterday, was between an unknown member of the public and an officer from Lancashire Police. A video shared on social media shows the officer stepping close to the man, saying: ‘Sit in your car and shut up. If you want to f*****g step up to me, and push your chest out and something like that then fine, I’ll lock you up. We’ll do that shall we?’The man then says he has done nothing wrong and the officer responds: ‘I’ll make something up. Public order. Squaring up to a police officer.
A spokesman said: ‘We are already aware of footage circulating on social media regarding an officer’s actions during an incident in Accrington yesterday. The matter is being investigated and has been referred to our professional standards department. It is clear from the footage the member of the public deserves an apology which we will attempt to provide him with today.
