PC Lathwood manhandled Jocelyn Agyemang, calling her a 'daft cow,' leaving her feeling 'very violated' with wrist pain and a bruised shoulder.

Met Assistant Commissioner described the incident as a 'huge setback to our ability to rebuild trust with Londoners,' considering a misconduct hearing for the officer.
