PC Perry Lathwood, 51, was cleared yesterday after being convicted of assault for dragging a woman by the arm in front of her young son. Footage of the arrest on a Croydon bus went viral, exposing the officer’s shocking behaviour — including calling the woman “love” and a “daft cow.”
Inappropriate Language Fuels Police Misconduct Claim
The Met police officer used condescending language when arresting Jocelyn Agyemang in July 2023. Barrister Cecily White slammed the comments as “dismissive and condescending,” especially towards women.
Meanwhile, the Met confirmed PC Lathwood was on restricted duties during the misconduct process but remains with the force. This controversial case has reignited debate over police professionalism and accountability in London’s public transport system.
