A parking warden has made an official complaint against the police after he was arrested and handcuffed for trying to put a ticket on a van outside Buckingham Palace.

The warden defied a policeman who ordered him to ignore the vehicle, making a delivery at a goods entrance. But when the warden continued about his business, the policeman arrested him, handcuffed his hands behind his back and frogmarched him away. He was also told he was in danger of being charged with obstructing police before being released without any further action being taken.
