Pretenders
Singer writes to the Guardian over treatment of couple trained by Linford Christie• Letter:
London police should focus on gangs – Chrissie Hynde
The Pretenders singer, Chrissie Hynde, has described her shock at witnessing a “disturbing and aggressive” incident in which police stopped and handcuffed two black athletes who were driving home with their three-month-old baby.
On Monday, the Met referred the incident to the police watchdog. The Met had previously insisted that two reviews of the encounter involving Bianca Williams and her partner, Ricardo dos Santos, who are both trained by the former Olympic champion Linford Christie, had identified “no misconduct issues”.
