Ballet dancer, 36, who starred as Billy Elliot in the West End sues police for £600k after foot injury during stop and search ‘wrecked his premier league career’
A former West End Ballet dancer filed a lawsuit for £ 600,000, claiming that he has ruined his career by a foot injury and search ‘Premier League’ during a stop.
36 -year -old Alexander Loxton insists that when he visits London’s Kennington Police Station to get a motorcycle helmet vizör stolen in September 2016, he insists on having serious damage to his ankle during a ‘aggressive’ stop.
Before the incident, the admired artist played the role of ‘old Billy’ in Hit West End musical Billy Elliot, danced with the royal ballet, and even performed at the Buckingham Palace for the 80th birthday of the late queen.
Mr. Loxton claims that the destructive death of the ‘Premier League’ career is a result of the damage to the ankle, preventing the ability to execute the excessive jumping manouvres that are required at such an elite level.
Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, claiming that stop and search is performed with unreasonable and unnecessary force, suing for compensation of approximately £ 600,000 due to the effects of injury.
However, the commissioner rejected all responsibility, claiming that such a power could cooperate with the officers who detained him, and that his career had fallen before the incident.
The Central London District Court heard that Mr. Loxton was confronted by civil servants after deciding whether he had been held in a door behind the police station of a motorized Scooter stolen from him.
A civil servant wanted to see the identity, but Mr. Loxton questioned why it was necessary. Then the officer, ‘holding his arm and forcing his left arm behind’ continued.

While against the wall, one of the civil servants ‘foot of his foot again again stigmatized by the ankle’ was claimed.
After the ordeal, it was said that he suffered from the feelings of ‘distress, anxiety, shame, humiliation and deterioration’ in addition to soft tissue injuries on the thumb of Mr. Loxton.
However, Met’s lawyers insist that the former dancer asks the officers to continue with him ‘rude and aggressive attitude.

Mr. Talalay announced that when the officers wanted to call Mr. Loxton, he went away and refused to cooperate with their demands and wanted an officer to place him on his left foot on his left foot.
Talalay describing the former dancer as a ‘strong young man’, added that he was ‘active and forced search’ and ‘the author of his own destiny’.

However, the injury continued after stopping and searching for both ‘permanent and career end’ claims.
Despite the intensive rehabilitation efforts, Mr. Loxton, ultimately such high eyebrow artists can not cope with the work required by the work and ‘jumping, direction change and descent areas of special difficulties’ he added.
However, Mr. Talalay insisted that Mr. Loxton ‘initially shows a great promise’, that his career has started to fall constantly due to three things since January 2014: Injury, refuse to work for what he thinks as a low wage ‘.
He added that Mr. Loxton’s own behavior and resistance that day is ‘the power used by the officers and made at that level’.
The case continues.
