PC Joshua Savage arrives at Southwark Crown Court in London
POLICE officer Joshua Savage became “a bully in uniform” when he smashed a car windscreen then hacked at it with a Swiss army knife, a court heard yesterday.
The 28-year-old officer stopped Leon Fontana on Weedington Road in Gospel Oak, north London on September 16 2016 in a case of mistaken identity.
Prosecutor Jonathan Polnay played footage of the incident, which went viral at the time, to the jury, showing Mr Savage repeatedly order Mr Fontana to “get out of the car,” telling him: “You’re not allowed to drive it.”
