A Brummie police officer joined Muslim colleagues in an 'empowering' moment as they sat down for Friday prayers. PC Jakob stood next to fellow police officers in prayer at Bahu Trust Mosque in Sparkbrook.
Muslims hold a congregational prayer every Friday called 'Jumah', one of the most important prayers of the week. PC Jakob, part of the Springfield police team, wanted to 'get a real feel of the Friday prayers'.
The team said the act showed the diversity and breaking down of barriers within their police force. The prayer was also led by Hafiz Emad Choudhury, one of the police officers.
