This is the moment five police officers arrived at the house of a man who had filmed traffic wardens for giving him a parking ticket during coronavirus lockdown.

Filmed on March 31 in Dorset, the clip shows Jordan asking the traffic wardens why they are ticketing people during the lockdown and asking whether they are classed as key workers.

After the Bournemouth resident's altercation with the traffic wardens, while sitting in his vehicle he is then questioned by a police officer about the earlier incident. Jordan explains that he cannot move his car due to being in lockdown and that there is "no spaces" and they've "blocked off all the car parks".

Jordan told Newsflare: "Five police officers then turned up with tasers at my front door to talk to me about recording a traffic warden asking him why are they out of quarantine and causing them 'alarm and distress'."

One of the police officers then explains that Jordan needs to attend an interview at the local police station so they can investigate to which Jordan replies, "I'll be happy to give you a statement I'm not going for an interview".
