The police officer who was filmed apparently smashing the windscreen of a driver’s car has been accused of suggesting a man had stolen a scooter and handcuffing him without an adequate justification.

Kyle Adair-Whyte, 24, claims that the same officer pulled him over to the side of the road near Haverstock Hill in Camden and accused of stealing the bike he was pushing, before being handcuffed for almost half an hour.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan police said on Monday that it was aware of the second video, which appeared on social media, and that its contents were being assessed. On Tuesday, a spokesperson said that the incident had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

The father-of-two said the unidentified officer called for backup unnecessarily and removed the keys from his scooter.

Following the incident Mr Adair-Whyte created a video highlighting his experience, which he claims involved the same policeman who had damaged a car belonging to 25-year-old mechanic Leon Fontana last week.

The video, created with the 4Front project, shows an officer demanding to see see Mr Adair-Whyte’s insurance details before detaining him.

Mr Adair-Whyte argued the officer failed to respect his personal space and said he felt “humiliated” by the experience. He decided to reveal the video after seeing an officer had smashed Mr Fontana’s vehicle and the clip had gone viral.

“I don’t want guys like that to police our streets. I don’t feel safe with people like him around.”

“He was aggressive and ignorant of people’s boundaries and I think he has misunderstood his powers. I want to know that the police value me as much as I value them.”

On Sunday, Metropolitan Police confirmed two officers had been placed on “restricted duties” after the video involving Mr Fontana’s car had emerged.

Scotland Yard said it was investigating the use of force showed in the video, which began with a case of mistaken identity, as Mr Fontana had a full driving licence and insurance.

In a statement the Metropolitan Police said: “MPS is aware of a second video appearing on social media and its contents are being assessed."
