Sex Education star is ‘pepper sprayed and kicked by police’ as he accuses Met of ‘unlawful arrest’

An actor has been allegedly pepper-sprayed and kicked to the ground by police officers in front of his crying mother.   

Reece Richards, who played Eugene on the hit Netflix show Sex Education, says he was the ‘victim of an unlawful arrest and police misconduct’ in Fulham, West London, on September 4. 

He claims he was wrongly arrested after witnessing a car crash in the early hours of the morning while he was returning home from performing in Hairspray the Musical in the West End.
