Met officer faces common assault inquiry for knee on neck arrest

My recollection of the event, from the media was that the detained was arrested on suspicion of affray, and then for possession of a bladed article. I also recall seeing reports that he was wanted on recall to prison following being on licence. Personally I felt that Sir Steve's comments were significantly inappropriate, and prejudicial, with regard to an incident still under investigation. I suppose that given the media coverage an IOPC investigation is warranted, but it does raise the issue of investigating actions taken in the midst of a dynamic situation.
