Speaker A
Moments earlier, police were hunting for this guy. Welcome to London. Food baby. Food. No sooner arrived and a local doctor reportedly in trouble.
Speaker A
Already, Metropolitan Police looking for a male who assaulted a female. Hey, what's he done? Apparently, he's trying to assault the female doctor.
Speaker A
Oh, found the guy. Oh, lo and behold, one of London's finest. This has to be a mistake. Cannot possibly be this doctor or engineer. Uh, he doesn't look the type, right?
Speaker A
So, do you know his male? No. No. If I can ask you just to move along then.
Speaker A
No, thank you. I'm fine here. Don't stop. Are you involved in any way? It's fine. Leave me be.
Speaker A
Is it just 'cause you want to film it? Just do your job then. I am.
Speaker A
Thank you. Don't, don't talk to me involved in any way or at least in case you want to film what's going on. That's all.
Speaker A
I would have said, you know, I would have replied to you, but you come over to me and say, "Move away," when I'm clearly nowhere near you. I asked if you knew this gentleman.
Speaker A
Yep. And you said, "Can you move away, please?" Just to give him a bit of respect. I'm clearly dealing with something. That's all.
Speaker A
Yeah. Did he have respect for the female he hit? Sorry. Did he have respect for the female he's supposed to have hit?
Speaker A
If you know about it, then absolutely. Well, I heard it on your radio. I've lit.
Speaker A
So, you want me to show him respect? Yeah. If it's a case that you know about the incident, then I'm more than welcome to hear what's happened.
Speaker A
I don't. You just started off on the wrong foot, you know. Yeah. Crack on with your job.
Speaker A
None of your colleagues got involved. You didn't need to. No, your attitude is what's unbelievable, miss. Yeah.
Speaker A
Ah, as you can see, the older female officer as well, the lady, she is not happy at all. You know, just leave the cameraman to film. I'm not going to interfere. Um, we are not against the
Speaker A
police. They're doing a good job down there in London most of the time. Leave me alone.
Speaker A
Here we go. So, this chuck may have been assaulted himself by the look of it. Don't know.
Speaker A
Roll of the eyes there, Missy. M. Nothing serious. And this female officer just couldn't resist but tell me to move, move, move. Give me disgusting looks.
Speaker A
But there we go. So, in the UK, the police take great care of you when you're under arrest or detained. Uh, no matter what crime you've done, they will still take care of you.
Speaker A
It looks like he may have been assaulted himself. This chap, this female officer just could not help herself, but to try and block me filming.
Speaker A
Oh, this lady's going to try and block. Let's move around, shall we? And a moment.
Speaker A
O, if looks could kill. Oh, she's been uh arrested this guy. So, this happens uh on a daily in London all day, every day. People like this being arrested for exactly this type of crime.
Speaker A
So, that female over there when she's in the park, we approached her. There's been some dispute over a 10 pay for something trying to grab on yourself, sir.
Speaker A
That wasn't obviously an assessment to the arrest. It's possible sexual assault, is it? Sure. I heard I heard the officer say grabbed her leg. Something like that.
Speaker A
Your mouth, you're going to probably take me to hospital and get that checked out. Okay.
Speaker A
Have anything on you as well? Nothing, man. Something happened over there here at Charing Cross. The officers are still over there going over there to check other things.
Speaker A
But uh I definitely heard him say touched her leg, grabbed her leg. And on the radio before they found him, I heard them say assaulted a female. This officer here.
Speaker A
So, Miss Moody Pants here. Keep an eye on her. We will see her later. And how the tables turn. Stay tuned.
Speaker A
Oh, this guy. Is he part of it? Say that again, mate. Why am I getting arrested?
Speaker A
Oh, I don't know. I don't know. She arrested me. She arrested them. I wasn't here.
Speaker A
I just got punched. I got hurt, man. What did I do? What did I do?
Speaker A
I wasn't here. I'm not with I'm not with these guys. They're saying it's somebody else.
Speaker A
Maybe that's where they are looking over that way. She asked you. She said yesterday about the matter. Absolutely special.
Speaker A
Obviously, obviously you can also do yourself first checked out and then yeah definitely female assaulted grabbed a leg something like that looking for money something like that indeed nardy face.
Speaker A
And that one over there shaking her head at me in disgust. Your colleague needs to cheer up, man.
Speaker A
Your colleague, that one. You're shaking ahead at me filming. If I want to film it, you know, I can and I will.
Speaker A
It's better just to be friendly, isn't it? And then and only 2 minutes later on Charing Cross Road next to Leicester Square, we're going again.
Speaker A
London's tourist hot spot, Leicester Square, Covent Garden. Just look at all the tourists around.
Speaker A
On the second police car, I knew this was serious. We had to follow. Sorry, I've just been on the phone with the police.
Speaker A
Did you call Did you Did you police? So, she's basically saying that a guy was punching the air, caught her friend, uh, chased him down a road, and I think something about pulling a bag. Bear in mind, this is Oxford Street now, the
Speaker A
busiest shopping, uh, street in the UK. Which way did he go? Huh? He go that way.
Speaker A
He went that way. Yeah. Yeah, he went that way. What do he look like?
Speaker A
He uh, white average height. White guy. The shorts. No shirt. No short. Yeah. The chosen should be around. No shorts.
Speaker A
Shorts. Oh, shorts. Yeah. Should be around. Just one. Yeah. Yeah. He went blue one with Right.
Speaker A
Put him out. Did they take anything or just just No. Chasing the guy around.
Speaker A
Crazy, man. So, at this point, I had a quiet day so far. I made a decision that I was going to look for this guy and if I found him I was going to ring 999.
Speaker A
One female, one female and one black in there. I need this. It was just him following us.
Speaker A
Green shorts. So, I listen very carefully to the description here. Green shorts, no top on, white guy, 5'5, uh, Adidas stripey trainers. You can't really miss that on Oxford Street to be fair. And I heard the female saying that she felt very
Speaker A
threatened and this man is clearly a danger to other people. Say green. Green shorts.
Speaker A
The color green. I don't know. It's very funny. Sure. Yeah. Very funny. Only one cut and no t-shirt.
Speaker A
No t-shirt. What's the guy look like? Green 3/4 length shorts. No top on. White guy shorter than me.
Speaker A
Um Oh, you seen him yourself? No, I just heard. Yeah, here. He hasn't been that way. No, I didn't hear. That way. Yeah.
Speaker A
So, it could be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But I was determined to find this guy. And he would stand out to be fair around there quite quite a lot if I did see him. And
Speaker A
at the same time, I kind of wanted to prove that female, uh, mildy face wrong.
Speaker A
Let's try and find this guy that's just attacked the girls for no reason at all.
Speaker A
Same police lady as earlier as well, the moody one. So, I looked around for about half an hour in the back street to the right-hand side of Oxford Street to where I was, the northern side.
Speaker A
See, the police were also looking around for this guy. Not too sure if they had a sighting. Uh ended up back on Oxford Street going the other way. Uh at this point I thought, you know what, probably not going to see the guy. He would be
Speaker A
quite stupid to go back to the location of what happened, right? But uh just as I'm about to give up and move on, we are going down Oxford Street. We're going down a little bit further. Um and then
Speaker A
all of a sudden, I'm like, "Hold on a minute. That's him. That's got to be him, right?
Speaker A
No top on, very light green shorts. Checking the young girls out there. I think we found our, uh, guy.
Speaker A
So, at this point, I decided, uh, it was 99% going to be the same guy. It was about 45 minutes later than the incident happened. Clearly, the guy is, um, drunk or on something. You can tell by the way
Speaker A
he's just walking around like that. Um, yeah. Hi. I'm on Oxford Street and there was a just a fight appear. There was a girl got ass
Speaker A
of me now. Uh, 3/4 green shorts, top off, white guy, English, 5'5. Uh, and even now he's mouthing off at women as they walk past. So, it may not be him, but there's a high chance if you haven't
Speaker A
got the guy, um, come and take a look. But at this point, I I didn't feel there was going to be any threat. I got the 360 camera filming on the bag strap, so he's not going to be really aware that
Speaker A
I'm filming him circus direction and we're outside uh where are we? Outside reserved shop called Reserved and just coming past. So the plan was to just ring 999 and direct the police to where he was, film the arrest and and that's it basically just
Speaker A
just just to follow the guy. I had no idea what was about to unfold.
Speaker A
Very light green shorts almost white but they are green and Adidash shoes on with a stripe on three stripe Adidash shoes on and he's mouthing off at people. So it Oh, there's two of them. Sorry there are two of them. his his mate has uh
Speaker A
clothing on and when I've spotted him, I've been like, "Oh, that matches his exact description." So, if you don't have the guy, it's probably definitely worth at least taking a look. Um, we've turned right off Oxford Street.
Speaker A
Now, even the amount of time it's taken now for the Metropolitan Police to respond in that location, considering a crime has just happened, believe it or not, it's actually quite slow. press on it and a restaurant called Fat Mark
Speaker A
Mano. He's going Fat Mano. He's gone into Tesco Express. Usually, if you call the police in that area, especially about that type of thing like a robbery or a criminal is actually there waiting to be arrested, the police will respond very very very
Speaker A
quickly. normal big puffer jacket on but open white English and about 510 he has a little rucks sack on and black shorts um and when I was there apparently this guy was alone but he had a couple of
Speaker A
mates with him just further down the road when he ran off still in Tesco mate is outside bearing in mind in my head this man is wanted for at the minimum assaulting the female this guy is now fighting in Tesco he's
Speaker A

Speaker A
I think you assaulted a female around the corner, among other stuff. Yeah. Has this all started?
Speaker A
So, because of the fact that you've aggravated him. Why would you start that on me?
Speaker A
Because you and I have been going at this all day. No, we haven't. You attended a job and I was there filming and you buted in with what I was doing and I responded back.
Speaker A
Should we start again? You've called his assault someone. So, I heard What happened down there with the female first?
Speaker A
He fitted that description, so I rang it in. I didn't know if it was him for sure. Top off green shorts, right?
Speaker A
Then he went into Tesco Express and he stole two beers and tried to fight the stuff in there. They've called you as well.
Speaker A
Because of that, I've then followed him to here and he's tried to fight me. He has actually hit me and then you've arrived. Okay, that's it.
Speaker A
Um, about the assault on you, are you willing to give us your details? Go to court, give us a statement.
Speaker A
Don't worry about that. You've got him on other stuff. So, he's going to get locked up for that.
Speaker A
We have to put a report on that you've been assaulted. Do you want to give us a statement? I've done that many, mate.
Speaker A
No, he's gonna get done for Tesco assaulting you guys. And if he is the right person for whatever happened with the female, yes. If it's not, it's not.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. Um, do you have footage on what's happened? Yeah. That was all captured on there, including what he did in Tesco.
Speaker A
Are you able to give us that footage? Yeah, of course. We got details for that.
Speaker A
Not right here. I've got every man and his dog in the car. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker A
But, as I say, I only rang it in because he fitted that description to what I heard earlier. Then you can call yourself and you can text me your details.
Speaker A
I've got everything from when I first seen him down there and I recognized him.
Speaker A
Tesco, he he hit security guard. I think he stole the beer from there and then he's assaulted me here. Threw the beer at me.
Speaker A
And I've also got the assault on police on video as well. So I'll just send it over and then whatever you need. Have a good day. Right.
Speaker A
No worries. No worries. Not today. No. No. Just some other idiot. find out. I was trying to tell you earlier, I'm not the enemy, man.
Speaker A
I'm not the enemy. But the way you approached me earlier, that's why I argued back with you.
Speaker A
That's fine. This is something else. Oh, I know. I know. Um, cool. I've called you to text me your details and then I'll forward it when I get at the moment. Unless the value of the shoplifting is over 200 quid like the
Speaker A
Met won't prose for that assault on you. Yeah. Um we'll speak to the girls. They don't want to actually do anything at the moment. It's time obviously was called them saying he's been nicked to give a statement.
Speaker A
Two bottles of beer mates. Point is it pathetic mate? No, but I thought it's the same guy that I assaulted a female half an hour earlier. Yeah.
Speaker A
No, no, no, no, no, no. So, I only called it in because I thought it was the guy that did that.
Speaker A
I'll be I'll tell you the girls obviously reported you saying if the wet rider gets booked in so we can get paperwork and then obviously obviously we got your call and Tesco's call our colle my bike still in I'm going to go around
Speaker A
to Tesco now get that my colleagues are going to Tesco to obviously get some details from them essentially I don't want to be going to court and [ __ ] it's a hassle right yeah I get that he's done other stuff I presume he's
Speaker A
going to have some charge on him for that I presume at the moment it's only going to be the assault on me but okay yeah because obviously the public order against you don't want to do anything about that and that's that's fair
Speaker A
enough. Not that I don't if you contact me once you've got them in custody and you say look it's really going to help us if you do then I will get locked up obviously so the girls will call them
Speaker A

Speaker A
No worries. Cheers. All the best. No problem, mate. He attacked me, but I was ringing the police on him and following him for that reason. So, right. Okay.
Speaker A
He's already done something prior to this. All right. And I saw him, recognized him from what the police said he looked like. So, I rang it in.
Speaker A

Speaker A
He said today I asked them. He never entered the store, right? So he's going to ask I asked him when did you buy shoes? It's not going to be an answer. So he doesn't have any right to come here.
Speaker A
So you're not always shouting. So there's a not listening to me. I'll try to calm him down to get what he want.
Speaker A
But if he hasn't been in then he's not legit. Yeah, we can give this back. It's definitely Yeah. Just leave it there.

Speaker A
Our oath is protect the community. Austral police. But this is they literally came here for concert. So l I'm here with my mistress. They came through and I was like say all right my my girlfriend literally down there

Would you be able to do it under your police powers or would you do it under?
Speaker A
Still can do 24/7. Yeah. Police power. That's arrest just for police powers. Anywhere in the country.
Speaker A
Anywhere in the country. This is why my question is like I don't know if because we're going to arrest you statement to go straight to the police station. But I don't know if I can do it here because
Speaker A
I'm based in other county. So I don't know. I will find out. It' be weird.

Speaker A
Oh, you mean if you if you had to arrest him? Just arrest. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.
Speaker A
And if you because in order to arrest someone, we need to have a weakness and a victim.
Speaker A
So if you're happy to provide also stay, I can arrest him. He's going to go to court.
Speaker A
Yeah, because if you say, oh, if you get punched and and you say, oh, I don't want to pro statement, I cannot arrest him right?
Speaker A
I don't know. Yeah, because otherwise if you go to court, the defense, the prosecution be like, oh, we don't have any proof, any evidence. We just got CCTV, but it's going to get probably released under investigation. For us, it's like all the
Speaker A
evidence that we can do. But if you don't provide any evidence how we meant to by the law by jurisdiction put this person into jail, you know, 11 or we going to go down some silly road.
