The Met volunteer officer who stuck her tongue out after trying to stop a busker outside Selfridges has suffered “massive racist abuse” online in a new example of the public hostility which is deterring people from joining the force, Sir Mark Rowley said today.
The Met Commissioner said special constable Maya Hadzhipetkova had made “a mistake” in telling Harmonie London, a 20-year-old singer with more than 320,000 YouTube subscribers, to stop performing on Oxford Street while trying to do “her best” for the people of London.
