A police force has been accused of heavy-handedness after a teenage girl with autism was detained by seven cops after 'saying a female officer looked like her nana, who is a lesbian'.
The 16-year-old, who also suffers from scoliosis, had been driven to her home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, by officers after midnight when she allegedly made the comment.
She was later dragged away screaming in the early hours of Monday morning over the 'homophobic public order offense'.
The incident was recorded by the girl's mother who uploaded the footage to Tiktok.
The mother posted: 'This is what police do when dealing with autistic children. My daughter told me the police officer looked like her nana, who is a lesbian.
