WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama Friday telephoned a police officer and regretted his choice of words when talking about the arrest of a black Harvard scholar, which has fanned a race row here.

“I want to make clear that in my choice of words, I think, I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge police department or Sergeant Crowley specifically,” the president said.
