Abdul-Lateef Ajibike was just 17 years old when Metropolitan Police firearms officers wrongly detained him whilst searching for an armed suspect.
Channel 4 News has seen evidence that suggests officers violently apprehended him despite having information indicating the suspect had already left the area.
The case also reflects wider concerns about Black children being disproportionately targeted in use-of-force incidents.
