Video of woman arrested for ‘sitting on a bench’ was staged, UK police say
A video appearing to show a woman being arrested for breaching Covid-19 rules after sitting on a bench was “staged-managed” by anti-lockdown protesters, Dorset Police said.
The footage, which has been shared widely online, shows a woman in Bournemouth in the UK being handcuffed and led away by officers as she repeatedly tells them “I was sitting on a bench”.
