PRESSURE is mounting on the Metropolitan Police to sack a police officer filmed punching a black teenager outside a school in north London.
The circulation of the video on social media sparked outrage last week, prompting protests last Friday.
The Met claimed that three officers were injured after a 16-year-old was detained during a stop and search outside a school in Haringey on December 8.
