A Sikh man has been detained in the UK for carrying kirpan, despite having legal right to carry the religious dagger, which is an article of faith for the Sikhs, according to a media report.
The incident took place on Friday on Bull Street in Birmingham and was uploaded to various social media pages.
The man told the police officer,"I'm a Sikh. I can carry this if I want to," the Metro reported.
However, the officer accused him of being aggressive and calls for back-up from other officers.
The incident has been condemned by the British Sikh Council after being posted on a British-Punjabi Facebook group.
The group said: "If he's a practicing Sikh then there shouldn't be an issue."
Police have been criticised for "not knowing the law" after the footage emerged of the man being confronted over his ceremonial knife, the report said.
However, some defended the police officer's actions saying with that with a backdrop of crime it was his right to be cautious.

Israeli troops shot dead four heavily armed Palestinians on the Gaza border early Saturday, one of whom had managed to cross and throw a grenade at troops, the army said.
There have been frequent clashes along the Gaza border since the Palestinians began organising regular mass protests there in March 2018 but Saturday's exchange was unusual because of the weaponry the army said was involved on the Palestinian side.
"The terrorists were equipped with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG grenade launchers and hand grenades," an army statement said.
A spokeswoman said: "The army opened fire after one of the terrorists scaled the barrier and hurled a grenade at the soldiers." No casualties were reported in Israeli ranks.
Palestinian demonstrations at the Gaza border demanding the lifting of Israel's more than decade-old blockade have often led to violence and a deadly response from the Israeli army.
At least 301 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza or the border area since March ...

Nadal, who won his fourth title in Canada a year ago, needed almost two hours on Friday to overcome the Italian veteran who shocked him on clay at Monte Carlo in April.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said Friday that President Donald Trump "seems to derive joy" from provoking some Americans to hateful speech and actions, and she says that goes to issues deeper than whether the president is a white supremacist.
"I've not said this out loud, but I think it and I feel it," Harris told The Associated Press during an interview traveling across Iowa.
"He seems to derive joy from the response he gets when he talks this way. It seems he derives some element of joy in inciting people around, around outrageous and hateful rhetoric."
Trump's recent series of racist remarks toward women of color in Congress, as well as the ties between his anti-immigrant rhetoric and the deadly mass shooting in El Paso, have sparked a debate in the 2020 Democratic field over whether the president is a white supremacist.
Harris, like former Vice President Joe Biden and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, has stopped short of using the label. Meanwhile, former Texas Rep. .
