Chief Superintendent Roy Smith said: “We are aware of a video circulating online and can assure the public we are taking care of the officer’s welfare.”
“His actions in the circumstances are nothing short of incredible.”
“He had no idea if the item being pointed at him was a replica or a lethal weapon and yet he maintained his composure and detained the suspect.”
He added: “Each day police officers put on the uniform and put themselves in danger to protect Londoners.”
“This is a perfect example of the bravery and selflessness that they exhibit so often.”
The firearm is currently being examined after being seized by the police and, at the moment, it is thought to be a replica.
It is understood that the shocking incident took place after a solo motorcycle officer pursued a car in Mornington Crescent, Camden, at around 7:38am local time.
