Man With “Offensive Weapon” Arrested Near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Home
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Seen for First Time Since Arrest, Release From Police Custody
There was some police activity near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s home.
A man was arrested on May 6 near former Prince Andrew’s residence after police were called over reports of a man “behaving in an intimidating manner,” per NBC News citing the Norfolk Constabulary.
“Officers attended,” the force said, “and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offense and possession of an offensive weapon.”
According to U.K. legislature, an offensive weapon can include knives, truncheons or other items used to inflict harm, but that police did not specify what type of weapon the man was carrying. The man is currently being held for questioning, per the outlet.
E! News has reached out to Andrew’s office as well as the Norfolk Constabulary for comment but has not yet heard back.
Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph’s reporting notes the outlet understands that a man wearing a ski mask ran toward Andrew, shouting abuse while the 66-year-old was walking his dog. Per the outlet, Andrew and his security guard got into their car and sped away from the scene, which was located not far from his home, Marsh Farm, on Sandringham Estate.
