A 26-year-old man from Liverpool has been arrested after a police officer was assaulted during a protest in Warwick, Warwickshire, on February 7, 2026. The incident occurred during a demonstration in Market Place that drew several opposing groups to the town centre.
Merseyside Police made the arrest on the afternoon of February 14 on behalf of local officers. The suspect was identified following a review of video footage from the protest, which involved the group Patriotic Alternative.
Warwickshire Police confirmed the man is suspected of assaulting an officer and a public order offence involving threatening or abusive behaviour. He has been released on bail while the investigation continues, with conditions that prevent him from entering any part of the county.
While authorities initially reported no arrests on the day of the event, the investigation remained open to address the disorder. Local MP Matt Western commented on the community response to the gathering, which also included members of Stand Up To Racism.
