Alexander Loxton, a ballet dancer who once starred in the production of 'Billy Elliot,' is suing the police, claiming that a stop-and-search incident resulted in an injury that ended his dance career.
The incident occurred at Kennington Police Station, where Loxton had gone.
During the stop-and-search, he resisted the police's efforts, which led one officer to place his foot on Loxton's left foot to keep him in place.
According to the defense barrister, Mr.
Talalay, police evidence shows that Loxton, described as a 'strong young man,' was 'actively and forcefully resisting the search.' The defense argues that the force used by the five officers and staff members to control him was 'reasonable and proportionate' given his resistance.
They contend that the dancer was the 'author of his own fate' and that his behavior necessitated the use of force.
Loxton's lawsuit seeks to hold the police accountable for the injuries he sustained, which he alleges have prevented him from continuing his dance career.
The case is a legal battle over the use of force by police during a stop-and-search and a person's right to resist.
It highlights the complexities and potential for conflict in such encounters.
The outcome of the case will have implications for both police procedure and the rights of individuals being searched.
The case is continuing, and the court will have to determine whether the police's actions were justified and whether they are liable for the injuries that Loxton sustained.
The case brings a unique perspective to the ongoing public debate about police conduct and accountability.
