A COP who arrested Henry Nowak as he lay fatally injured has resigned â after shocking bodycam footage showed police ignoring the victim as his Sikh killer told lies.
The tragic 18-year-old was stabbed and left bleeding out while returning home from a night out â before cops ignored his pleas for help and instead handcuffed him.
University student Henry was knifed five times with a 21cm ceremonial sword by Vickrum Digwa in Southampton in December 2025.
When police arrived at the scene, Digwa accused his victim of making racist remarks â with officers to arrest Henry as he lay dying.
Bodycam footage shows Henry telling cops several times that he had been stabbed â only for one to say âI donât think you have, mateâ.
The teenager was even heard in the clip saying âI canât breatheâ as well as âIâve been stabbedâ.
He tragically died just one hour after the video was taken.
There were four officers present at the scene at the time of Henryâs arrest â one of whom has now resigned.
A spokesperson for the force said: âThree of the officers are still serving, one officer has resigned.
âAs the IOPC has confirmed, they are all being treated as witnesses, so not subject to any current restrictions.â
On Monday, Digwa was jailed for life for the murder of Henry in Southampton.
The 23-year-old Sikh had used his âracism trump cardâ and lied to police, who arrested Henry as he lay dying.
The chilling case has sparked fury from the public and politicians, with Hampshire Police now being investigated by the IOPC.
Henryâs family gave moving victim impact statements on Monday as his mum Lucy Ross described the pain of his death as being âbeyond anything I knew existedâ.
His dad Mark told how he would be haunted forever by his sonâs murder.
He also branded the way his son was treated as âdegradingâ and âinhumaneâ as he added: âHenry did not die with dignity. He did not die with the care he deserved.
âHe lost consciousness before anyone believed him.â
It comes after Sir Keir Starmer said he âfelt sickâ watching the bodycam footage.
The PM has said there are âserious questionsâ for police to answer, including how âaccusations of racismâ swayed the copsâ decisions.
But Sir Keir has insisted there is âno such thing as two-tier policingâ, after Nigel Farage blasted cops who believed the Sikh killerâs âracist attackâ lie.
The Reform UK leader praised Henryâs family for reacting in such a âdignified wayâ, but said Brits are living in a âtwo-tier cultureâ.
Downing Street has hit back at his comments, saying there is âno such thing as two-tier policingâ and that officers must treat everyone equally.
No10 said: âI think the Prime Minister is of the view that many police officers across this country do a fantastic job protecting people.
âOf course, itâs right that the police should be a meritocratic organisation, and as Iâve just said, itâs absolutely right that they should police without fear or favour.
âThere is no such thing as two-tier policing.
âWe expect high standards from police officers, high standards of conduct, and they must treat everyone equally.â
