Ten Met Police officers based at Charing Cross station are facing accelerated misconduct hearings, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IPOC) said.

The watchdog's investigation into the officers' conduct was sparked after a BBC report laid out behaviour that included calling for immigrants to be shot, revelling in the use of force and being dismissive of rape claims.
