Athletics star Ricardo Dos Santos has said he was pulled over and questioned by armed police just two years after allegedly being racially profiled in a stop and search.
Dos Santos, 27, took to Twitter to post videos of the incident, which showed him being dealt with by officers in London in the early hours of Sunday morning. The Portuguese 400m runner said police had initially stopped him as they believed he was on his phone.
He also alleged that one officer "took out his baton out of frustration ready to smash the glass" after being unable to immediately open the car door of his Tesla. The athlete also said "nothing had changed" after he was pulled over with his partner, UK Athletics' Bianca Williams, and their child in 2020.
