Police are appealing for witnesses after two arrested over ‘false imprisonment’ of traffic warden

Police are appealing for witnesses after making further arrests in connection with a mass brawl involving a group of strictly Orthodox Jews and a traffic warden.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of affray, actual bodily harm and false imprisonment following the incident last month in Hackney, north-east London.

Video footage of the incident shows a number of Charedim wrestling the traffic warden to the ground.

The two men aged 31, and 29, were arrested on February 1, and bailed pending further enquiries to a date in early March.
