The force helicopter and 10 officers were sent to a home in Highdene Road, Cherry Hinton after a complaint from members of the public the music was too loud and people were allegedly shouting anti-Islamic abuse.
Party goers claim the officer “took offence” at a song mocking dead terrorist Osama Bin Laden being played and called in reinforcements after pressing her ‘panic button’.
He said: “We was having a summer’s evening in my neighbour’s garden as we don’t have one. We had our karaoke machine on playing music through our phones from YouTube which are all approved songs.
“It was about 10pm and the music may have been a little loud but it was before 11pm. Someone must have made a complaint, and a police officer attended our address, at which time a song from YouTube called the Bin Laden Song came on.
“This police officer said she took offence at the song and pressed her panic button on her body cam and that’s when about ten police turned up and the police helicopter.
“They are now investigating it as a racist crime. It is ridiculous."
A phone and a karaoke machine were seized. No arrests were made and the investigation is ongoing.
"The police then threatened to arrest everyone if we didn’t hand over our karaoke machine and mobile phone.
Father-of-two Mr Donovan said: “Our son is black, my brother and sister are black, my brother is in the American army."
