Portuguese 400m runner Ricardo dos Santos was stopped by officers who said they were concerned about a driver possibly using a phone at the wheel.
The police in April apologized for the distress caused to the pair, who also had their baby son in the car.
Dos Santos posted video clips of the latest incident on Twitter and said he had pulled over at the police request when it was safe to do so.“After I stopped, two officers ran towards either side of the car, one fist clenched banged on my window and tried opening the car door. Not knowing how to use a Tesla handle he took out his baton out of frustration ready to smash the glass,” he added.
The Met statement said it was aware of footage on social media and had referred the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct due to the public interest in it. The IOPC is an independent body that handles and investigates complaints made against police in England and Wales. Authorities can refer the cases to the watchdog whether or not a complaint has been made.
