Two top athletes were stopped, searched, detained and handcuffed in an unnecessarily “aggressive” confrontation with Metropolitan Police officers because they are black, a misconduct hearing has been told.
Sprinters Bianca Williams and her partner Ricardo Dos Santos, who were returning from athletics training, believe they were racially profiled during their encounter with the officers as they drove through west London on July 4 2020 with their then-three-month-old son in the back seat.
