One male arrested in Parliament Square around 5:15 pm I did not see the reason for the arrest

One male arrested in Parliament Square around 5:15 pm I did not see the reason for the arrest other than the arrested person was followed by about thirty supporters and Brian Haw and a lesser number of coppers following the arrested individual with chants coming from the supporters on "Shame on you". This then followed by a copper calling for assistant whilst looking at the CCTV in Parliament Square. A number (six to seven) of police vans turned up and a Police support helicopter arrived plus a few local bobbies making a "rare run for it" approach. The situation was followed by a bit of argie bargie between supporters and coppers. The arrested individual was taken away by one of the arrived police vans. More arrested could have been made during this scuffle but was unable to confirm such was the case.

To start with a cop just wanted to speak to him in Brian's area, on some pretext or other, but then he was dragged off and followed by a crowd shouting 'shame on you' etc. All on video.
