A group of Covid deniers stormed a hospital ward and falsely accused staff of "aiding and abetting genocide" as they tried to remove an elderly patient.
Footage shared on social media showed a group of people entering Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool on December 29, before they confronted nurses on its Covid ward and even accused them of "kidnapping" an elderly man.
The man filming the video told the nurses: "If you stop this happening what we're going to do is put you on an open arrest" and referred to the group as “common law constables".
The nurses told the man filming they had called the police and "must move" as they have "a lot of sick patients".
Ward staff were then joined by hospital security and police, the Liverpool Echo reported.
The man recording the footage continued his incoherent rant about nurses "aiding and abetting genocide" and also wrongly accused police of "aiding and abetting kidnap".
In an an even more bizarre turn of events, the man then told police they have "no jurisdiction" and that "the Government has been liquidated".
He then claimed he had more jurisdiction as a "common law constable", to which police bluntly replied "no you don't, mate".
Merseyside Police said: “Officers attended and arrested a 48-year-old man from the Formby area on suspicion of causing a nuisance/disturbance on NHS premises and cause to be sent by public communication network an offensive/indecent/obscene message/matter.
“The man is currently in police custody and enquiries are continuing.”
It comes just days after hundreds of mask-less anti vaccination protesters stormed a Covid test and trace site in Milton Keynes, with some of the group even stealing vital equipment.
