Head of Metropolitan Police snatches reporter’s microphone when he is questioned.

Sir Mark Rowley grabbed part of the microphone and discarded it as he walked off after Sky News journalist Rob Catherall asked if he was “going to end two-tier policing”.

The UK’s most senior police chief was walking out of the Cabinet Office in central London where he had been in an emergency COBRA meeting with the prime minister, ministers and other police chiefs to discuss the riots that have spread across the UK.

Sir Mark was walking through a small group of photographers and journalists to get to his car on Whitehall on Monday afternoon.

The moment was captured on camera.
