Millionaire ‘Lord’, 21, hurled abuse at police for pulling him over in his Lamborghini

A YOUNG millionaire has issued an apology after launching a tirade of abuse against police when they pulled him over in his £550,000 Lamborghini.

Self-styled “Lord” Aleem Iqbal claims he was stopped by police “because he’s young and drives nice cars”.

But footage shows him telling officers: “Why you looking at me? Trust me bro, my shoes are probably worth more than your f****** wages.”

Jeering onlookers and a camera crew laugh as Iqbal films the police officers sitting in their car.

He then furiously tells one of the policemen to “look where you’re driving” after their squad car moves slightly towards the person filming the clip.

The 21-year-old then boasts that the footage will go on YouTube “tonight” before speeding off towards the city’s iconic Bullring in his new Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster.

The car – which has a personalised registration plate that reads: “4I EEM” – was delivered to Iqbal just hours earlier.

But Iqbal has now apologised for his conduct.

A family spokesman said: “Having had time to reflect on what happened and having spoken to his family, Aleem would and also like to apologise to the police officers involved for the way the situation escalated.

“Aleem would like to stress that what wasn’t shown in the video was the police officers involved harassing him and forcing him to pull over for ‘having cars follow him’.

“Yes, Aleem admits he can get carried away from time to time and said: ‘I’m tired of being harassed by police just because I’m young and drive nice cars. Although that doesn’t excuse my behaviour towards the police officers in the video, I hope this paints a clearer picture as to why I reacted the way that I did.’”

But Adam Yosef, who captured the footage, said: “As I turned on Moat Lane in Digbeth, I saw a small crowd shouting and cheering outside the outdoor markets, opposite the Bull Ring Tavern.

“As I moved in closer, I realised it was local car enthusiast Aleem Iqbal in a confrontation with a couple of police officers in front of a gleaming white Lamborghini supercar, which I assumed was his.

“I wasn’t surprised he was driving the vehicle, or that it appeared police had stopped him. What did surprise me was the abuse and insults he was hurling at the two officers, who were then forced to get on their way.

“I wasn’t sure if he was genuinely being arrogant and rude, or whether he was putting on a show for his film crew of around three young camera men. Either way, I felt it was uncalled for and disrespectful.”
