You're dirty mate." After the victim says that he is an homosexual, he is forced to admit that he is "dirty". Police response Scotland Yard said they were investigating the videos and the Metropolitan police stepped up patrols in East London. A police spokesman said they were in contact with "local community leaders and influential people, local businesses and the local authority about the issue and what is being done".
