Tik-Tok stars slam officers over actions

A NUMBER of high-profile Tik Tokers within the Traveller community have spoken out after videos emerged of youngsters being forced to leave Manchester.

The influencers shared videos onto the social media platform last night after footage emerged of police officers herding a group of Traveller and Gypsy children and young people onto trains at Manchester Victoria railway station over the weekend.

In one clip, a young man could be heard shouting 'I don't know where I am going' as he was pushed on board a train.

A young girl could be also heard screaming as her leg slipped down the platform, while another 'hysterical' girl - aged 13 and from Doncaster - ended up more than 100 miles away from Manchester in Grimsby after officers reportedly herded her onto a train.

In another clip, also seen by the M.E.N, a young man was dragged to the ground and arrested by officers outside the Arndale Centre.

Police appeared to be monitoring those attempting to access the shopping precinct and refusing entry.
