Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson appears to have been arrested during a heated rally in London.
Images on social media show him being led away by police officers.
Robinson, 37, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, co-founded the far-right EDL (English Defence League) in 2009.
The Metropolitan Police said they arrested a man who was at a rally at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, central London, on Sunday.
A spokesman said: “At 14:44hrs a man aged in his 30s was arrested under the coronavirus regulations for holding or being involved in the holding of the event.
“He has been taken into police custody.”
