Police Handcuffed Stabbing Victim After Believing Attacker's False Account

UK police handcuffed Henry Nowak, 18, despite his visible stab wounds and claims of victimization. Officers accepted the attacker's false report of racist assault without verifying the crime scene. Released video shows officers dismissing Nowak's account. Vickrum Digwa, 23, was convicted of his murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The case exposes how initial caller credibility can override physical evidence in police assessment protocols.
