Citizen's Arrest

Another "only in the UK" moment.

A man who tried to carry out a citizen's arrest on youths who he said were attempting to break into allotment sheds was himself arrested by police.

Phil Hennessey, 44, was arrested in Medway on suspicion of assault and carrying a weapon, and bailed until July. He spent a night in custody.

Hat tip to Smallest Minority. And, yeah, you really should read that Überpost™©®!
