London waiter attempts a citizen's arrest of Tony Blair for war crimes

Tony Blair was targeted in an attempted citizen's arrest last week as he dined with family and friends in a London restaurant. The former Prime Minister was reportedly confronted by a staff member who accused him of being a war criminal as he ate at the Tramshed restaurant in Shoreditch on Friday evening.

Named as Twiggy Garcia, the staff member said he noticed an "eerie presence" in the upmarket steak restaurant before realising Mr Blair was among the customers. The man then approached the former Prime Minister.

"I went over to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said: 'Mr Blair, this is a citizen's arrest for a crime against peace, namely your decision to launch an unprovoked war against Iraq. I am inviting you to accompany me to a police station to answer the charge,'" the former employee told Vice.

"He said: 'No, shouldn’t you be worried about Syria?' and I replied that I can only address things that are within my grasp at any one time."
