In the United Kingdom, an inquest is underway to examine whether the police response to the stabbing of 18-year-old student Henry Nowak contributed to his death. The case has sparked controversy after officers handcuffed and arrested Nowak while he was bleeding to death, leading to public backlash and accusations of two-tier policing.

Police officials have apologized to Nowak's family but denied claims of discriminatory policing. The situation has also led to death threats against a police officer involved.

The inquest aims to allow public and family scrutiny of all circumstances surrounding Nowak's death, with the next procedural steps expected within the next three months.
