The police have made the following statement it’s a little problematic for Ms Pearson, doubly so since the police have also filed lodged a complaint with the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) regulator over the Telegraph's reporting of the incident.
“At no stage during the short interaction between the woman and our officers was she informed that the report being investigated was being treated as a non-crime hate incident. To suggest otherwise is wholly inaccurate and misleading.
“As the public would expect, we have body worn video of this interaction which entirely supports our position in this respect.”
