Steve stated: “They had a stall [in the Square] with a police van and my dog Margot did a pee.
“As I moved on, I heard this woman with red hair shouting ‘clear up your f*****g dog p***’.
“I looked over and she got really aggressive, so I started to walk away.
“There must have been six or seven people in her team but none of them supported me.
“Within 30 seconds, she was waving her hands around and putting her hands on her hips, saying ‘it was disgusting’.
“These two [CSAS officers] came up and I said I want an apology, and one said ‘you can’t demand an apology’.
“This other guy said ‘you need to move, if not you will be arrested’. I was so upset.
“Yes, the dog has done a pee, but if she did a poo I would have picked it up.
“I thought if I don’t move away, and I’m a good person, I will lose my temper. There’s a point with anybody.
“I’m so upset about what happened. I’ve never encountered such hostility before. It was shocking and so perplexing.”
