Police Arrested Stabbing Victim Instead of Attacker

UK police handcuffed Henry Nowak, 18, despite visible stab wounds. Officers believed the attacker's false claim of racist assault without checking the scene. Video shows them dismissing Nowak's account. The attacker, Vickrum Digwa, 23, was later convicted of murder. The case reveals a crucial problem: police sometimes trust the first person to call them, even when physical evidence tells a different story.
