Off-duty cop in OPI sights
THE OPI believes an off-duty police officer could have helped prevent the alleged racial and physical abuse of a Jewish man by a group of footballers.
Sen-Constable Terry Moore was driving the busload of Ocean Grove footballers home from Caulfield races when they allegedly yelled insults at Menachem Vorchheimer.
Mr Vorchheimer claims he was also assaulted.
In a letter to Mr Vorchheimer, Office of Police Integrity assistant director John Nolan says: "In my view, Sen-Constable Moore failed to exercise sufficient control and influence over the offending passengers in the mini-bus.
"Had he done so, the conflict may have been prevented."
Sen-Constable Moore is also likely to be disciplined for engaging in paid secondary employment without police approval.
Mr Vorchheimer was walking in Caulfield with his children, aged 3 and 6, in October when players yelled abuse from the bus.
Mr Vorchheimer said he approached to voice his concern. As the bus drove away a player stole Mr Vorchheimer's traditional Jewish hat and skull cap.
When he tried to get them back he was allegedly punched in the face.
He said he then had to sit in front of the bus to prevent it being driven away before police arrived.
The OPI has offered Mr Vorchheimer mediation with Sen-Constable Moore, who could not be contacted for comment.
Three footballers face criminal charges.
