CCTV footage shows actor pepper-sprayed by police
CCTV footage has been released of a Sex Education actor being pepper-sprayed by officers who wrongly suspected him of being involved in a police chase.
The police watchdog found the force used to detain Reece Richards, who appeared as Eugene in two episodes of the hit Netflix series, was "reasonable" and did not uphold an allegation he was discriminated against because of his race. Mr Richards, who was touring in Hairspray The Musical at the time, said he was thrown to the ground on 4 September last year following a performance of the stage show in Fulham, southwest London.
