Sayce Holmes-Lewis was assaulted by the Metropolitan Police at age 14, and since then he has been stop-and-searched over 30 times.

Holmes-Lewis speaks to Insider about his experiences and the racism within UK policing. He now runs training sessions for police officers to change the way they interact with the public, and he is the founder and CEO of Mentivity, a mentoring organisation for young people.

We reached out to the Met for a statement, and a spokesperson wrote in an email: "The Met is committed to becoming an actively anti-racist organisation that can be trusted by everyone in London. Since the terrible murder of George Floyd in the United States and the wave of Black Lives Matter protests two years ago, we've been focussing on a number of key areas.

These include ensuring racist behaviour has no place in the Metropolitan Police Service and increasing diversity in the organisation through recruitment and career progression. We're working hard to increase our officers' understanding of different cultures and the history of policing different communities, particularly black communities. We recognize the Met is not yet free of discrimination, racism or bias, but we are changing to build a Met which is."
