A Sikh man has come forward with claims that he was assaulted by a group of British-Pakistani men earlier this year and that the Metropolitan Police failed to take appropriate action against his alleged attackers.
Harman Singh Kapoor first shared his account publicly on May 16 via social media. In a series of posts, Kapoor described a confrontation in which he said he was physically attacked. However, according to Kapoor, when the police arrived, officers quickly turned their attention toward him rather than the alleged assailants.
Last night I called 999 after being assaulted by group of Pakistanis

When Met Police arrived, one officer ran at me while others shouted “Arrest him!”
My “offence”? I called a Pakistani… a Pakistani.
They accused me of being “racially aggravated” — not the actual attackers.… pic.twitter.com/vPJIkkbpR4
Kapoor claims he was detained for using what officers described as racially aggravated language, rather than the attack itself being investigated. He says the men who allegedly assaulted him were not arrested or questioned at the scene.
Six months after the incident, Kapoor once again took to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), expressing disappointment with what he describes as continued police inaction. He accused the Metropolitan Police and London Mayor Sadiq Khan of overlooking his case and failing to hold the attackers accountable.
“It’s been 6 months since I was attacked by a Pakistani gang. My wife had to call 999 and instead of protecting me, the police arrested me for defending myself for calling them ‘Bloody Pakistanis.’ Meanwhile, those attackers walk free, enjoying the protection of a system that bends for them,” he wrote, tagging both the Metropolitan Police and the Mayor’s Office.
As of publication, neither the Metropolitan Police nor the Mayor’s Office has issued an official response to Kapoor’s allegations.
The incident has ignited discussions about racial bias and policing in London. Supporters on social media have voiced solidarity with Kapoor, calling for transparency and a re-evaluation of how racially charged incidents are handled. Others have urged for an independent investigation into the police response and the broader implications for minority communities seeking justice.
The case adds to an ongoing national conversation on policing standards, racial sensitivity, and the challenges faced by minority groups in the UK’s justice system.
