A man who was filmed “intimidating” Al Jazeera journalists in London has been identified by Declassified as a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

Special Constable David Soffer was at the front of a mob that surrounded the film crew on Monday, shouting “go home”.

Footage shows Soffer directly approaching one of the Al Jazeera journalists, who is Palestinian, calling him a “dog” and a “donkey” in Arabic.
