“We have been made aware of a video on Facebook showing BTP officers detaining a man at St Pancras station on Tuesday, March 8. Officers attended the station following reports from staff of fare evasion, and a man, aged 40 and from Thamesmead, London was subsequently arrested on suspicion of fare evasion and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).”
Meanwhile, from the video, it shows that the Nigerian man kept insisting that he was not a criminal and needed to know his offence and asked why he was being maltreated.
He asks the law enforcement officers repeatedly saying, "Why are you treating me this way? I am not a criminal"
The man has since been released on bail.
