'Plebgate': Met Police make third arrest

Metropolitan Police detectives have arrested a police constable as part of the Andrew Mitchell "plebgate" inquiry.

The 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office and the unauthorised disclosure of information to the media.

Mr Mitchell quit as government chief whip after it was alleged he called Downing Street police "plebs", a claim he has always denied.

The arrested officer was part of Scotland Yard's diplomatic protection group and was not present during the incident at the Downing Street gates in September last year.
