Arrest on dads' rights demo

Fathers 4 Justice protester Jason Hatch has been arrested for handcuffing himself to a Government minister - almost a year later. The Cheltenham campaigner tried to attach himself to Children's Minister Margaret Hodge at a Law Society conference in Manchester. The attempt failed when his handcuffs broke.

At the time Hatch, who has four children, said he had been trying to place Mrs Hodge under citizen's arrest.

He has now been arrested on suspicion of unlawful imprisonment and asked to go to a police station in Manchester on November 11.
He said: "I was arrested two weeks ago and it was a bit of a shock. I didn't expect it to happen this long after the event."
