Boy, 13, arrested on his way home from football game - and he's thrilled about it

A teenager’s dream came true when he was "arrested" on the way home from a football game.

Eisa Khan, who has Down's syndrome, loves acting out scenes including locking up bad guys as he pretends to be a police officer.

So when the 13-year-old and his mum Shabana spotted a copper on their way home from a disability football game they flagged him down.

And to Eisa’s delight he had his hands put behind his back as he was placed in the back seat of the police car.

Full time carer Shabana, 34, said: "He loves acting out and putting people in jail and loves the blue lights.

"He's always pretending to play games of him being a policeman, he loves speaking and interacting with them.

"He's always been interested in playing and acting, and always says on TikTok to his fans that Mama is going to jail because she makes me go to school.

"Eisa loves the scenes and loves to act things out.

"When the police officer came to talk to him, he decided to get out of our car and walk to the police officer's car with his hands behind his back pretending to be arrested.

"As Eisa did that the police officer decided to go along with him and let him sit in the back of the car for a few seconds, which was amazing.

"He loves to joke about it all and this literally made his dreams come true to actually play out the scene in real life.

“The most amazing part of this was the officer who was absolutely amazing and gave Eisa the time.

"Even when I asked, 'I don't want to hold you up if you're busy', he said 'No this is what it's all about, being part of the community and showing people that we are here'.

"That made his day. We tried to offer lunch from Greggs but he refused.

"I am so happy and couldn't thank the officer enough for what he did for Eisa.

"The impact he has made on him is absolutely amazing. He adores the police force and just showing that kindness the way he did is a moment that he will cherish forever."

Shabana said seeing Eisa happy is always a special experience and it means a lot when people go out of their way to do something nice for him.

The wholesome moment has been viewed by thousands online, although some people left nasty comments on the video.

Shabana said: "The negative comments we really don't like to entertain. But they do come which isn't nice - as you can clearly see how happy he is.

"The negative comments we did get were being nasty about Down syndrome, or silly jokes like he's going .. DOWN... clearly making a joke of his disability.

"Eisa loves who he is and we all do."
