A man was arrested in London after a van struck a pedestrian following an incident linked to the removal of flags on lampposts in Birmingham. The incident took place on Thursday night, leaving a man in his 30s with broken legs that required surgery. Police later detained a 44-year-old man at Euston station near the area where the “Unite the Kingdom” march had gathered. Separately, another individual was arrested for allegedly encouraging attacks on a police officer.
Reports from The Guardian cited statements from West Midlands Police about the collision, the arrests, and the ongoing investigation.
