A police officer has been accused of refusing to help with an alleged assault at a nearby supermarket because he was "not a response unit".
The Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) was filmed by a member of the public in a marked police vehicle near the scene of the incident in Lancing, Sussex. In the clip the male officer is told about a fight at a Co-Op store less than 300 yards away, but he tells the member of the public: "But then I'll have to deal with it."
The police officer's response is now being investigated after the incident came to light. Sussex Police have also apologised for the officer's "clumsy language", reports the Mirror.
