A York man has talked of his shock and sadness after he was security checked while buying a bladed article – ‘because of his appearance’.
Azzadean Hadrami said the intervention “made me feel that I was categorised as a terrorist”.
Mr Hadrami, of Tang Hall, was doing some DIY work in his kitchen. He went into the B&M store at Foss Island Retail Park in York to pick up a tool to strip off the wallpaper.
And that’s when things took an unpleasant turn.
