Community note
Birmingham police arrested the victim of an attack while allowing his attackers to flee. Another example of 2 tier policing in the united kingdom.

The statement that officers were simply "in the area when this assault took place" is a lie.
The officer was in full view of the assault, and moved to assault the victim herself as soon as he was thrown to the ground, despite no action being taken by the victim.

The incident has been reviewed, and we have no concerns over the officer's actions and we are satisfied that they were reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances.
We would ask that footage is not further shared to allow the legal process to take its course.
