Moments later the @metpoliceuk turned around and pulled up beside my and forcefully demanded that I step out car. I showed them my work badge and stated that I was a key who was waiting for the post office to open before going in to work. They continued to demand I step out..

A 11-16 black and ethnic young person who may lack skills to handle the intimidating situation they’ve been put in.

I would appreciate someone getting in touch with me.

Kind Regards
