When a gang of youths taunted a pensioner on his way home, Hampshire Police gallantly came to his rescue, arresting all the youths.
Oh no, wait. That's not what happened at all.
When a gang of youths taunted a pensioner on his way home, he waved his stick at them. They immediately reported this 'attack to their local bunch of gullibler morons, and said Hampshire Police closed off two roads and a shopping arcade, and sent ten patrol cars and a team of dogs to harrass him.
That's what happened.
