A man connected to a far-right group that'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'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'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't steal my doobies, did ya?" he jokes with police, then turns to the camera and says: "Told you so."
