18:08Now PlayingZack Polanski has conceded it "wasn't appropriate" for him to share a post on X, which appeared to suggest the response of the police when detaining the Golders Green attacker might have been heavy-handed.

Polanski went on to say he "recognises the bravery of officers who run towards incidents", but at the same time wants to find "the appropriate forum to say that no one, especially the police, should be above scrutiny".
