Policing minister to meet Met Commissioner after protest row

The policing minister has said he will meet Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley to discuss concerns after an officer described an antisemitism campaigner as “openly Jewish”.

Campaign Against Antisemitism chief executive Gideon Falter was threatened with arrest near a pro-Palestine protest in central London on April 13.

A video clip showed an officer telling Mr Falter: “You are quite openly , this is a pro-Palestinian march. I’m not accusing you of anything but I’m worried about the reaction to your presence.”
