The man in his 40s, who the Telegraph is not naming, claimed that Scotland Yard misled the public in a statement it issued after his arrest and detention.
The Telegraph revealed the lawyer had been arrested, handcuffed behind his back and detained for 10 hours and remains under investigation.
Detectives asked him repeatedly about the necklace he was wearing, claiming the Star of David pendant had โantagonisedโ demonstrators protesting outside the Israeli embassy in London on Aug 29.
In a statement released on X after The Telegraph disclosed the incident, the Met Police insisted he had not been arrested for wearing a Star of David.
However, interview footage obtained by The Telegraph showed a detective accusing the man of openly wearing a Star of David, which the detective said could cause โoffenceโ.
The detective said officers who had arrested the man โhave noted in their statements that they believed because the Star of David was out and present to people โฆ they felt that was antagonising the situation furtherโ.
