Two Officers Investigated Over Henry Nowak Death
Questions over how police treat stabbing victims have intensified after a teenager's desperate pleas for help were reportedly dismissed. Two Hampshire officers are under investigation for potential gross misconduct over their response to Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old stabbed in Southampton last December. One officer allegedly told Nowak, who said he'd been stabbed and couldn't breathe, "Don't think you have, mate," according to the watchdog.
