A Christian pastor has been arrested
in
Uxbridge town centre after preaching in
the open air and stating that mankind was
made with just two genders.
John Sherwood, 71, was preaching with
a colleague, who described how three police
officers approached them saying complaints
had been received
from members of
the
public and
that
they had caused
‘alarm
and distress’. After speaking with officers,
Sherwood
resumed preaching but
after
further complaints, he was forcibly arrested,
handcuffed and taken into custody. He was
released the next day.
