Read our privacy policy A woman whose photo went viral after her arrest at a vigil for Sarah Everard has said she “almost cried” when she heard Dame Cressida Dick had resigned as Metropolitan Police Commissioner. In a Sunday Times interview, the 28-year-old Ms Stevenson said she “stopped in the street and almost cried” when she heard the commissioner had resigned. Patsy Stevenson The physics student, who has since launched legal action against the police, told the newspaper officers used “brute force” to intimidate her and other women that night, adding she had previously trusted the force and thought police brutality was “rare”. I knew they were going to put me in their van but I didn’t know what they were going to do to me or what they could get away with.” The same laws were falsely invoked by Met officer Wayne Couzens to arrest Ms Everard as she walked home through Clapham.
