The husband's uncle had also just died. This was a family who were grieving and in crisis. They just wanted a walk and an ice cream to try to cope. They hadn't travelled far. Things have got out of hand now. #lockdown

Man ARRESTED standing up for his wife. They went for a walk at the nearest beach after her brother was hospitalised and in a coma. He asked them to stop harassing her. So cuffs on and off to Wrexham police station. #lockdown #COVID19 @northwaleslivepic.twitter.com/fnGUgD10tI

UPDATE: Radek (the man arrested) claims that while at the station he was forced to change into police issued clothes. Told if he did not comply they would cut his clothes off him and they brought scissors in. He had to strip naked in front of them and put the prison clothes on.
