The Metropolitan Police Service (Met) issues an apology to Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan after an arrest at Heathrow Airport last year. Multiple outlets report that Linehan, aged 57, arrived in the UK from Arizona in September and was met by armed officers. He was detained on suspicion of inciting violence in connection with anti-transgender social media posts attributed to him. Both reports say the police later apologised to Linehan, indicating a change in assessment of how the arrest was handled. The articles describe the apology as following Linehan’s detention at Heathrow rather than addressing the underlying posts in detail. The reports do not provide new information on whether any charges were brought or the outcome of the investigation. Overall, the accounts focus on the incident, the police response at the time, and the subsequent apology from the Met.
