A man connected to a far-right group that& #39;s been camped out at the War Memorial followed a Radio-Canada journalist down Sparks Street today and physically attempted to place him under "citizen& #39;s arrest" as he tried to enter the CBC Ottawa building.
The far-right group that posted the video apparently thought they were attempting to place a Bloc Québécois MP under "citizen& #39;s arrest."
(I deleted an earlier tweet that misidentified the journalist in the video as an MP based on the info they posted).

Another video posted by the far-right group shows the guy who followed and tried to arrest a Radio-Canada journalist was later released by Ottawa Police.
"You guys didn& #39;t steal my doobies, did ya?" he jokes with police, then turns to the camera and says: "Told you so."
