Notting Hill Carnival 2016: Moment cheeky revellers 'twerk' against Metropolitan Police officer

Fiona Simpson30 August 2016

Two party-goers gave a police officer a cheeky performance as they twerked up against him at Notting Hill Carnival.

The two women, dressed in bright tops and tiny hot pants, jiggled their backsides at the uniformed Metropolitan Police officer as he cast his eye over yesterday’s children’s day parade.

The fun-loving ladies could be seen grinning at each other as they pinned him up against black railings and performed the saucy dance move.

Thankfully, he saw the funny side and laughed along with the dancers, fanned himself with his hat and mopped his brow.

Crowds cheered and one bystander waved a Jamaican flag behind the bearded cop.

Danielle Crossley, 19, recorded the hilarious clip and told the Mirror: "Even police officers need to have a little fun now and again. He looked a little but uncomfortable.

"But well done to him, he joined in with the spirit of the carnival and everybody enjoyed the moment."

The police officer was not the only member of the emergency services to get in to the festival spirit.

London Ambulance Service also shared a video of a paramedic, known only as Leeroy, dancing around and blowing a whistle during his Bank Holiday shift.

Thousands of people descended on the second day of the annual festival after the first was marred with violence.

Five people were knifed in four separate attacks yesterday.

After one assault in Wornington Road, a 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital with critical injuries before being declared stable. A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of GBH, police said.

Shortly afterwards, a 20-year-old was knifed in Portobello Road while two boys, aged 16 and 15, were stabbed at Ladbroke Grove.

Over the two days over 400 people were arrested and over 600 treated by medics.

Police seized 60 knives and 11 officers were assaulted.
