Police ignored dying student's stab pleas on bodycam

Chilling bodycam footage shows police ignored a dying student's pleas for help after he was fatally stabbed. Officers handcuffed 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who repeatedly said he'd been stabbed and couldn't breathe, after Vickrum Digwa lied about being attacked. One officer even told him, 'I don't think you have mate,' before he died shortly after.
