Warning - video features a swear word
A shocking video on TikTok appears to show a police officer putting his middle finger up at a Youtuber outside Reading Police Station.
The video – which has been watched more than 93,000 times - claims to show the PC inside a riot van putting his middle finger up before driving away.
Koleeberks, who describes himself as a citizen journalist, explains he is carrying out an “audit” – a movement made popular in America which involves photographing or filming a public space in a bid to promote “transparency”.

He visited Reading on Tuesday, July 13, and filmed the ordeal from his phone.
One of the officers then appears to swear at him putting his middle finger up behind the wheel and then driving off.
The Youtuber then shouts 'Oii, what the hell was that?' before running up to the police van to try and question the officer's actions.
He previously spoke to our sister title the Bucks Free Press about the videos and the anonymous video-maker said he has previously filmed at a number of different police stations, mostly in London.

He said he 'couldn't believe' the reaction he got from the officer in Reading.
In the full video on Youtube, he enters Reading Police Station to complain about the incident wishing to make a formal complaint against the officer.
But then he sees the police van pull up outside, with the driver of the van stood on the road asking him to stop filming him.
Thames Valley Police has been contacted for more information.
