Sam Kerr claims police ignored her after taxi incident

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is currently on trial for allegedly causing racially aggravated harassment towards police officer Stephen Lovell after a distressing incident involving a taxi driver in January 2023. Kerr claimed the driver behaved dangerously, making her and her partner fear for their lives, and expressed feeling ignored by the police when she sought help. During a heated exchange at Twickenham Police Station, Kerr allegedly insulted Lovell, calling him "stupid and white," which she accepts but denies constitutes harassment. In her defense, Kerr stated that she felt threatened due to the way the police treated her and the aggressive actions of the taxi driver. She expressed disappointment at only speaking with male officers during such a frightening experience and felt her concerns were not taken seriously. The trial continues as both sides present their accounts of the incident.
