It is understood the cop believed Mr Kaba was about to run him down in Streatham, South London last September.

The officer, codenamed NX121, is suspended from duty and was probed for alleged murder.

Yesterday the case was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service by the police watchdog.

Independent Office for Police Conduct director Amanda Rowe said: “A referral to the CPS does not necessarily mean criminal charges follow.”
