A spokesperson for the Met Police stated: “Officers considered a number of factors, including the circumstances leading up to the incident, whether the use of force was proportionate, and all available footage.

“Officers were in Wardour Street, W1 at around 22.00hrs on Saturday, 17 May dealing with a suspect who had been ejected from a nearby pub following an attempted pickpocketing.

“The woman in the video was asked on numerous occasions to leave the vicinity as she was interfering in the situation.

“She kept returning and on the final occasion, body worn video footage showed her striking an officer in the chest. Officers then detained her.

“DPS concluded that officers acted appropriately and no disciplinary matters have been identified.

“The woman was arrested on suspicion of assaulting and obstructing a police officer.

“She was taken into custody and later accepted a caution for the offence.”

A spokesperson for Waxy’s Little Sister said: “The police were there apprehending a bag thief.
