A police watchdog has been called in to review the treatment of a woman who was arrested in front of her young son after wrongly being accused of bus fare evasion.
Video footage of the mother shouting as two male Metropolitan Police officers held her arms in Croydon, south London, on Friday July 21 as the tearful child watched provoked criticism on social media.
She was arrested after wrongly being accused of failing to pay a bus fare, with reports suggesting she had refused to show her pass to an inspector.
The woman was later de-arrested when it was confirmed that she had paid for her ticket.
