The Met Police has turned down the chance to take part in a challenge which is sweeping the internet.

It comes after police New Zealand released a video of officers doing the "running man" dance and threw down the gauntlet to other forces around the world to do the same, including Police Scotland.

Police Scotland posted the video, which includes officers dancing in front of a police car at Edinburgh Castle, stating: "We accepted #RunningManChallenge from @NYPDnews and pass it to @metpoliceuk @TorontoPolice and our own @PolScotCollege."

But the Met seemed unimpressed by the offer from Police Scotland and have refused to accept the challenge.
