A London council reports that it has referred two enforcement officers to police after alleged threats made toward a member of the public. Multiple outlets report that the incident involves language described as threatening to “rip [a man’s] teeth out,” with other characterizations referencing threats to “knock out” the person. According to the reports, the officers were subsequently dismissed from their roles. Some coverage also says the officers switched off body-worn cameras during the encounter, though the extent and details of that point are presented differently across outlets.
The council’s action to contact the police is described as part of its response to the officers’ conduct. The reporting also indicates that the footage and circumstances of the incident are central to the council’s decision to take disciplinary action and to make a formal referral. Police are not reported to have issued an outcome yet, and the allegations are presented in the context of an investigation. Overall, the accounts align on the referral to police, the dismissal of the officers, and the alleged threat using similar wording.
