Man, 62, held in south London police station after footage shared online showed reporter being harassed
Police have arrested a second man on suspicion of harassing the BBC journalist Nick Watt after footage emerged online last week of the political editor being confronted and chased by a group of protesters.
The Metropolitan police said a 62-year-old man was being held in custody in a south London police station on suspicion of an offence under Section 4a of the Public Order Act, which covers using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards another person with the intention to cause them harassment, alarm or distress.
