Declassified revealed that the man seen in a video threatening Al Jazeera journalists in London is Special Constable David Soffer of the Metropolitan Police.

The footage shows Soffer approaching one of the Palestinian journalists directly, calling him a “dog” and a “donkey” in Arabic, and saying, “Go back to Qatar… get out of here.”

After his identity was revealed, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police stated that they are aware an off-duty officer was involved in the incident, which has been referred to the Department of Professional Standards for review.

Soffer may face disciplinary action and has removed his police role from his LinkedIn account.
