Iceland's boss has been left furious as police officers scrambled to a shop within minutes of receiving a phoney racism accusation and handcuffed a staff member.
Sir Malcolm Walker, the founder of Iceland supermarkets, has accused the Metropolitan Police of operating a two-tier system after officers handcuffed one of his staff members within minutes of receiving a bogus racism complaint.
The billionaire entrepreneur revealed the incident occurred at his Enfield store in north London, where an Asian supervisor was detained by police who arrived just three minutes after a customer made a false allegation of racial abuse.
Sir Malcolm told the Mail on Sunday: "There is two-tier policing. It isn't just happening on the streets."
He said he felt compelled to speak publicly following the death of Henry Nowak, the 18-year-old student who was restrained by officers while dying after his killer falsely claimed racist abuse.
The confrontation began when the supervisor spotted a man removing milk bottles from a refrigerator, opening them and replacing them on the shelf.
Sir Malcolm explained: "The next thing the guy is on his phone claiming he has been racially abused."
