Britons shocked by police bodycam footage of handcuffed, dying student (18) 02.06.2026

There is widespread outrage in the United Kingdom following the publication of bodycam footage showing 18-year-old student Henry Nowak, who was found dying with handcuffs on. Nowak was stabbed in December last year after returning home from a night out. His attacker, Vickrum Digwa (23), claimed it was a racist attack, which the police initially accepted. The footage shows officers only removing Nowak's handcuffs and offering medical assistance after three minutes, despite him repeatedly stating he could not breathe and had been stabbed. The police have apologized and launched an independent investigation. The case raises questions about police conduct and is sensitive due to previous discussions about institutional racism within the British police force, with Nigel Farage further fueling the debate with controversial remarks.
