Sean Ward, a former Coronation Street star, was seen being taken by police from an anti-vaxxers protest in London with his hands behind his back.
The actor, who played Callum Logan on ITV’s soap, was seen walking alongside two police officers. Each one held onto one arm.
Sean, 33, was dressed in black trousers with a white T-shirt and walked with his mouth open and looking down at the ground.
He was accompanied by a female officer who carried a brown leather backpack.
A member of the public also posted shocking footage on Twitter, showing six officers trying to detain Sean.
Metropolitan Police stated that they don’t comment on individual arrests, and it’s unknown why Sean was captured by officers.
Today, four police officers were injured when anti-vaxxers protested in London.
The protests began at Canary Wharf when protestors attempted to storm the HQ where Covid Jabs were approved.
Sean was one of the hundreds of protestors that gathered outside of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, (MHRA).
He posted a video on Instagram earlier today. Standing at the top of steps near Canary Wharf Underground station’s entrance, he filmed as hundreds of people came towards him.
He added to it: “Kids don’t need an experimental jab to prove us wrong” [sic]
Police officers followed the crowd.
In a second clip, he spoke in a voiceover “So we are at the MHRA building. We’ve got two people inside the building.”
He continued, pointing the camera at a female. “This is Ellie, she’s vaccine injured, she wants to tell her story to the MHRA. Will they listen? We’ll find out.
“The police have completely blocked the entrances and won’t allow anyone in.”
He added: “We are looking for answers at MHRA.”
Before sharing his videos, he had posted an image on his Instagram grid to encourage people to join the protest.
It read: “The first point of contact will be at Canary Wharf Underground Station
“Be prepared
“All black, no banners, no megaphones”.
He also added the caption: ” Bring a sandwich. We might be there a while”
He joined a protest at the ITV/BBC studios in White City less than a month back.
Joint Committee officials Vaccination and Immunisation confirmed today that they will not recommend jabs to healthy children aged between 12-15 years.
Metropolitan Police tweeted updates about the protest.
They said: “We have officers attending a demonstration outside a commercial building on Cabot Square in Canary Wharf. A number of officers are on scene, guarding the entrance to the building.
“Officers continue to attend a separate demonstration in Canary Wharf, along Bank Street. Arrests were made, and units are still on the scene.
“The group have moved off and traveled to the area around South Kensington. Public order officers are on the scene.
“Protestors have been increasingly violent towards the police. During clashes, four officers from our department were hurt. This is unacceptable. We are still on the scene.”
The Mirror has reached out to Sean’s representatives to request a comment.
