A MAN has been arrested for alleged "abusive behaviour" at an anti-Trump protest.
The man, aged 20, was arrested at Prestwick Airport, Ayrshire, where Air Force One landed, on Friday evening “for abusive behaviour and refusing to stop”, according to Police Scotland.
The man allegedly was carrying a placard which called the US president Trump an “offensive word”, PA have reported.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 20-year-old man was arrested next to Prestwick Airport on Friday for abusive behaviour and refusing to stop.
“He was given a recorded police warning.”
The force said on Saturday that no arrests had been made, although a 50-year-old woman was issued with a recorded police warning in connection with alleged threatening behaviour at a Stop Trump Scotland protest outside the US consulate in Edinburgh on Saturday.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at two demonstrations held in Aberdeen and [[Edinburgh]] against the US president's visit to Scotland.
Protesters were seen holding placards and banners against Trump, along with messages of support for Palestinians.
Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman spoke at the demonstration in Aberdeen, where she criticised Trump’s comments on the genocide in Gaza.
“We say 'no' to the genocide in Palestine, and we say 'no' to any politician who says that their politics has to be built on hate, has to be built on division, and has to be built on enriching the billionaires while the majority of the rest of the world starve”, Chapman said.
“Not in our name. Never in our name. That is why we are here today.”
Police Scotland is continuing to work on the assumption there will be protests in Ayrshire, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
