Man wants Met police to pay for car window smashed during search

Police inquiry said it was unacceptable to return car to Ryan Colaco full of shards of glass

A man who had his car window smashed by police when he was driving home from an interview about racially motivated" stop-and-searches has demanded to be reimbursed for repairs after a police standards investigation ruled it was unacceptable for officers to have returned his vehicle full of shards of glass.

News of the incident gained widespread attention after Ryan Colaco, 30, from east London, posted a video on social media and complained to City of London police about his treatment, days after he had been stopped and searched by Metropolitan police officers.
