Man calls police on police during Sainsbury's mask row

At 5:30 this evening, a man could be heard on Windsor Road calling 999 and loudly accusing police officers of harassing him.

The officers were in fact calmly asking him to leave the vicinity after he had apparently "breached the peace" while shopping without a mask in Sainsbury's.

A Sainsbury's employee told Nub News that he had questioned why the man was not wearing a mask (without asking him to leave) before the man "lost it".

The man shouted to the 999 responder that he has health issues that exempt him from wearing a face covering.

After a roughly 15-minute row with officers, the man's friend was able to persuade him to follow the officers' instructions and vacate the scene.
