Merseyside Police received a complaint about the video featuring the officer which was circulated on X and TikTok over the weekend, it said.

The officer in the video appears to say to a member of the public: "Do you have a problem?", before adding "you just... want to video people... bit noncey that, mate."

Police said they expected "the highest standards of conduct and values from all our officers" and would provide further updates after the review.
