After compelling video evidence went viral across social media, a serving Metropolitan Police community support officer – whose primary duty is to liaise with the public – has been arrested on suspicion of ‘outraging public decency’.

A man, in PCSO uniform, was recorded performing a sex act on himself in a London park in the middle of the day. The video shows him performing the act, being confronted by an astonished onlooker, and then his unique, identifying ‘badge number’ being photographed to make the evidence nearly indisputable.

A PCSO, who works in the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC), remains in custody, the Met confirmed.

RTPC Commander Kyle Gordon said he was “horrified” and officers were working “to identify the full circumstances”.

The Commander said officers acted immediately upon becoming aware of the crime, and that news broke just before midnight on Wednesday. He says they were tasked to work throughout the night, leading to a successful arrest in the early hours of the morning.

He said: “I know that everyone will be absolutely shocked by this video. I am absolutely horrified and saddened by incidents such as this.

“As a criminal investigation is now under way, we are limited in what further details we can discuss.

“However, we will keep the public updated at significant stages of the inquiry.”

The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards is leading an investigation and a referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
