British police have arrested a man after he allegedly threatened the former Prince Andrew close to his place of residence on Wednesday, the Telegraph newspaper reported on Thursday.
The local police force said they received a report of a man behaving in an intimidating manner in the village of Wolferton, eastern England. They did not name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in their statement. "Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon," the police statement said. The man remains in custody.
The Telegraph report, which cited an unnamed source, said a man wearing a balaclava approached Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles' younger brother, and shouted at him. Mountbatten-Windsor had been walking his dogs at the time, and left in his own car with a member of his security detail, the report said.
Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles last year by Charles and was arrested in February on suspicion of leaking government documents to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he regrets their friendship.
