Reece Richards, who played Eugene in the hit Netflix show Sex Education, has thanked fans for their support as he claimed he was sprayed with an incapacitating liquid and thrown to the ground by police.
Sex Education star Reece Richards has expressed his shock after alleging he was sprayed with an incapacitating liquid by police in what he describes as an "unlawful arrest". The actor, known for his role as Eugene in the popular Netflix series, thanked fans for their support on Instagram today.
He added: "Sorry I haven't said anything or got back to anyone, I'm still trying to figure this out, it's just weird." The performer described the harrowing experience as happening "just yards from my front door" after a stint in Hairspray The Musical. Explaining further, he recounted how after noting two men fled a vehicle crash, he shared this with the police only to be mistakenly targeted himself. Per Richards' account, an officer aggressively informed him of his arrest and "demanded" he hit the deck.
Trouble escalated quickly when more officers appeared and deployed pepper spray, then proceeded to physically subdue him.
