Metropolitan police pay damages to man two years after stop and search

Exclusive: Tariq Stanley was smoking a cigarette in his car when he was approached by officers

The Metropolitan police have apologised more than two years after an insurance underwriter sitting in his car outside his home was handcuffed, injured, strip searched and detained in a cell by officers looking for cannabis.

No drugs were found on Tariq Stanley, 30, who believes his race was the reason he was targeted. He said he was left traumatised and suffered injuries to his shoulder and left wrist, which was in a splint for two months.
