Police apologise to protester for error

POLICE have apologised to the well-known protester behind an infamous ambush of a former Scottish Labour leader after he was warned to stay away from a public park on Jubilee weekend or face arrest.

Strathclyde Police said one of its officers had "erroneously linked" events involving Sean Clerkin with a previous event at Kelvingrove Park, when celebrations to mark the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge descended into violent, alcohol-fuelled chaos.
