FAR-right activist Danny Tommo has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage with intent to endanger life, according to a video he posted this evening.

The 37-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Thomas, was pounced on by cops at a BP petrol station surrounded by unmarked police cars.

Dramatic footage uploaded to his YouTube channel appears to show the moment officers moved in to arrest him.

Tommo can be seen getting out of his car as police approach.

He can then be heard saying: “Yep okay, okay, if I can just speak to my kids, I’m trying to say goodbye to my kids.”

An officer tells him: “At this moment in time we have information to suggest that you have been involved in criminal damage.”

Another officer can then be heard saying “let’s go, let’s go” as Tommo is placed in handcuffs.

The arrest came after cops said they were investigating an incident in the Channel in which a dinghy was allegedly slashed with a blade while a rescue worker was onboard.

Tommy Robinson had earlier claimed on X that Tommo had been arrested for “criminal damage” and “recklessly endangering someone’s life”.

He said the arrest was linked to Tommo “trying to stop the invasion of our country”.

The exact circumstances of the Channel incident and the allegations against Tommo have not been established in court.

Police have not yet publicly confirmed the arrest or provided further details about the investigation.
