Another British policing scandal

Henry Nowak was an 18 year old student in Southampton, who was cut and stabbed five times by Vickrum Digwa. The Police were called and despite the fact Nowak was the one stabbed and wounded, they handcuffed and arrested him simply on the say so of Digwa who claimed Nowak had racially abused him and assaulted him.

The Police did not investigate. They did not take statements from witnesses. They arrested him because Digwa claimed he had been racist and assaulted him.

Nowak told Police he had been stabbed and he couldn’t breathe. They refused to believe him. They handcuffed the dying man.

This is what destroys trust in institutions.
