‘Covid deniers’ gathered in number to storm a hospital, accusing NHS staff of “aiding and abetting genocide”.
The group tried to remove an elderly patient from the ward as they confronted nursing staff on footage which has been shared on social media.
On December 29 the angry crowd accused ward staff 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 man recording the footage told nurses at Liverpool’s Aintree Hospital they were “aiding and abetting genocide” and accused police of “aiding and abetting kidnap”.
He then told police they have “no jurisdiction” and “the Government has been liquidated”, report Liverpool Echo.
He then claimed he had more jurisdiction as a “common law constable”, to which police replied “no you don’t, mate”.
Merseyside Police confirmed to iNews that officers were called to the hospital following reports of a disturbance on a ward.
A spokesperson 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.”
