A prominent anti-knife crime campaigner who has worked with police claims he was illegally strip-searched by officers at Charing Cross police station, The Independent can reveal.
Faron Paul was taken to the station by Met officers after being arrested during a traffic stop near Picadilly Circus in October last year, before being told to remove his clothing and subjected to a cavity search by six white, male officers. He was charged with assaulting an emergency service officer during the incident but this was later dropped.
