Arrested in error by the police.

[Marsons]

I just happened to be in the vicinity where the police were trying to locate a violent criminal ( I understand ).
Unfortunately my description fitted the person in many ways and I was wearing the same colour clothes etc.
As the police thought I was this dangerous criminal I was pushed to a wet floor and my clothes were ruined.
It was the first time I had worn them and they cost me £92.00.
I have complained to the police and asked them to pay but the reply has been it was just an unfortunte set of circumstances.
I am just wandering if I can claim for my ruined clothes.
I have never even spoken to a police officer before except to ask for directions.
