Woman arrested at Sarah Everard vigil to start legal challenge against Met

Patsy Stevenson is preparing to initiate legal proceedings unless Met withdraw fixed penalty notice

A woman who was arrested at a London vigil for Sarah Everard has said she is preparing to initiate legal proceedings against the Metropolitan police unless they withdraw the fixed penalty notice they imposed on her.

The image of 28-year-old physics student Patsy Stevenson being pinned to the floor by two male police officers, hands held behind her back, on 13 March was one of the defining images in criticism of how the vigil on Clapham Common was policed.
