A student police officer has been dismissed after getting into a fight in a McDonald's in Leeds and then accusing the officers who apprehended him of being racist.
PC Manjit Mahal was off duty and had drank six pints while out with friends before he went into McDonald's at Leeds Train Station on July 18, 2021. Another man, named as Mr Hall, entered the takeaway while intoxicated and started acted aggressively towards PC Mahal. This then escalated to the point that Mr Hall punched PC Mahal, who retaliated with a flurry of punches.
The panel disagreed though, stating that 'a sanction of dismissal without notice is the only appropriate and proportionate outcome in this case to reflect the seriousness of the misconduct and to protect the public'. The hearing found that though Mr Hall was indeed the initial aggressor in McDonald's, the fact that PC Mahal and his friend continued punching him on the railway concourse was 'clearly not in self-defence but was gratuitous violence'.
