Political Backlash Over UK Police Response To Fatal Stabbing

Bloomberg Markets · Jun 3, 2026, 9:12 AM · Also reported by 3 other sources

The police response to a fatal stabbing in the UK has sparked outrage across the political spectrum and prompted protests outside a police station. Henry Nowak was handcuffed as he lay dying in December after his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely accused him of racism. In bodycam footage, the 18-year-old can be heard telling officers, "I've been stabbed," to which one officer responds, "I don't think you have." Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he felt "sick" after watching the footage, while Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage said the reaction to the case should be one of "pure, cold rage." Bloomberg's UK Politics Reporter James Woolcock joined Caroline Hepker and Stephen Carroll to discuss the political fallout and growing public anger over the case. (Source: Bloomberg)
