The youth isn't being arrested, he's being searched under section 60. No grounds are required by the officer in order to stop and search under this section, which is imposed by a senior officer when there concerns about serious violence in an area. https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/july/section-60-order-introduced-in-city-centre/#:~:text=The%20Order%2C%20under%20S60%20of,designed%20to%20prevent%20serious%20violence. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/33/section/60
