Bianca Williams in shock after being stopped by police. “never had to experience anything like this” the British sprinter said.
“It’s a really sad world that we live in and if it’s not one black man, it’s another black man,” a tearful Williams said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“My heart just hurts.”
“We didn’t want to get out of the car because of how their behaviour was, they had batons ready and it is very scary, you worry about your life when the police are acting that way, we had a baby in the car,” the European and Commonwealth relay gold medallist said.
“My partner got dragged out of the car, they handcuffed him straight away and pinned him up against the wall… I didn’t want to be separated from my three-month-old son and they then put me in handcuffs straight away too.
“It’s just nasty and the police were talking to him [Ricardo] as if he was scum, as if his life didn’t matter.
“The police always say to him you look like someone we’re looking for, how can you afford a £60,000 car, you look very suspicious.”
“Our staff have been in touch with her and will be on hand for any support required.”
