THE Metropolitan Police has apologised to Team GB athlete Bianca Williams for the “distress” caused when she was stopped and handcuffed by officers in front of her three-month-old baby. 

Ms Williams and her partner Ricardo dos Santos, who are both black, were stopped by police while driving to their home in Maida Vale, west London, on Saturday.

The conduct of the officers involved has come under scrutiny after a video was posted showing the pair being forced out of their car.
