A 76-year-old man is arrested in Portsmouth over an allegation that he is concealing his identity at an anti-immigration protest. The arrest follows warnings from police about possible enforcement action related to face coverings and other items used to hide identity.
Hampshire Police have indicated that protesters using face coverings could be arrested. The reports describe the man being detained on suspicion of wearing or using an item intended to conceal their identity at the demonstration. The outlets cover the same incident and frame it around police powers and warnings, rather than presenting differing accounts of what happened at the protest itself.
