Moment rowdy female partygoer is tackled to the floor and arrested by cops outside pub as punters watch
THIS IS the moment a rowdy partygoer was tackled to the floor by a group of cops outside a bar in front of shocked punters.
Footage shows a woman in a party dress and chunky sandals going up to a female police officer outside a pub.
The officer shoved her away, before two male cops helped restrain the woman.
The trio pushed the punter down onto the pavement and handcuffed her.
A bouncer seemingly went to step in before another dissuaded him.
During the row, a small crowd of partygoers watched on with shock.
The incident went down at Waxy’s Little Sister on Wardour Street in Soho, next to Chinatown.
Cops said they were on the scene dealing with a pickpocketing suspect.
The woman in the party dress was “interfering with the situation” and was asked to leave, with cops saying she hit an officer in the chest.
She was arrested on suspicion of assaulting and obstructing a police officer.
Video of the row was posted on X, with some comments criticising the Met Police for their handling of the woman.
One social media user called it a “bit harsh” and another asked why the cops were being “so heavy handed”.
A police spokesperson told The Sun: “After this footage came to light officers from our Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) carried out a fast-time review of the incident.
“Officers considered a number of factors, including the circumstances leading up to the incident, whether the use of force was proportionate, and all available footage.
“Officers were in Wardour Street, W1 at around 22.00hrs on Saturday, 17 May dealing with a suspect who had been ejected from a nearby pub following an attempted pickpocketing.
“The woman in the video was asked on numerous occasions to leave the vicinity as she was interfering in the situation. She kept returning and on the final occasion, body worn video footage showed her striking an officer in the chest. Officers then detained her.
“DPS concluded that officers acted appropriately and no disciplinary matters have been identified.
“The woman was arrested on suspicion of assaulting and obstructing a police officer. She was taken into custody and later accepted a caution for the offence.”
Earlier this month, shocked members of the public came across “fighting right in the middle of the road” when a pub row spilled onto the street.
Footage appeared to show Hull City’s captain, his teamate and ex-pro boxer brothers in a daylight brawl.
The Championship club’s topless skipper Lewie Coyle, 29, was seen being led away from a spat by his brother Rocco, 18, in Hull city centre.
Hull City acknowledged the video and said they are looking into the matter.
