Mistaken for a Criminal The Moment London Police Arrest an Undercover Officer During a Covert Operation

Khaberni - British police officers stopped a man outside a train station in East London, only to discover he was an intelligence officer involved in secret patrol.

According to "Metro" newspaper, a strange incident occurred outside "Homerton Overground" station, where a recently surfaced video shows two officers in uniform intervening after it appeared that two undercover police officers were getting involved in a fight with a suspect.

The uniformed officers quickly worked to break up what seemed to be a regular street fight among pedestrians, without realizing the other two were also police.

During the video, the undercover officers raised their voices to assert their identities, while the present female officers tried to manage the situation amid overlapping voices.

 



Later, the uniformed officers realized their mistake and openly apologized to their counterparts, while the suspect continued to stand by the wall wondering: "Are you serious? He could have been anyone else."

London's Metropolitan Police confirmed that the incident occurred over a year ago, and some viewers pointed out that the confusion might be between the official police and the British Transport Police due to the proximity of the incident to the railway station.

The clip sparked a wave of sarcastic comments on social media, where one commenter said: "How many policemen does it take to listen to an undercover officer?", while another highlighted the irony of the police fighting among themselves.
