A sprinter who was allegedly racially profiled during a stop and search has said he was “worried” at being pulled over for a second time by armed police.

Ricardo Dos Santos published a series of video tweets of him being pulled over and questioned by police in Paddington on Sunday.

The Met said officers were concerned the driver may have been using a phone.

The 27-year-old told the BBC his phone was between his thighs, and accused the Met of “over-policing”.

Five officers face a gross misconduct hearing over a stop-and-search in 2020 involving the Portuguese sprinter and his partner.
