It follows a complaint made about the level of force used on Wednesday, 8 May at around 7.20pm in Roman Road when the teenager was detained.

Sal Naseem IOPC’s Interim Regional Director for London, “Having reviewed the complaint and viewed body worn video footage of the incident we decided that this matter requires an independent investigation.

“It is important for everyone involved that we understand the circumstances surrounding this incident. We will be speaking with the teenager and others who were with her at the time but we would ask that anyone else who may have information that would assist with our enquiries make contact with our investigators.”

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to email witness@policeconduct.gov.uk or call 0800 096 9070.
