A policeman who hacked and sawed through a suspect's window during a traffic stop committed gross misconduct, an investigation has found.
Footage of PC Joshua Savage aggressively trying to smash the window of the car in September 2016 was widely shared online.
He would have faced the sack but Mr Savage quit the Metropolitan Police service before today's hearing.
In the traffic stop in Camden Mr Savage used a blade on a multi-tool he was carrying to saw through the shattered pane in order to gain access to the car.
