Black cyclists leader subjected to ‘degrading’ police drugs search
Met police investigating after officer stopped Mani Arthur claiming he smelled of cannabis
The founder of the Black Cyclists Network has accused police of “harassing and humiliating him” in public after an officer stopped and searched him under the pretext that he smelled of cannabis.
Mani Arthur was cycling with two friends when he was stopped near Euston, in central London, by an officer who, he says, ordered him to move into a dangerous position in the road.
