LONDON - British Foreign Office Minister Mark Field apologised but defended his actions after he forcibly removed a female protester from a City of London dinner on Thursday evening .
"There was no security present and I was for a split-second genuinely worried she might have been armed. As a result I grasped the intruder firmly in order to remove her from the room as swiftly as possible," Field said in a statement. A video posted by ITV showed Field appearing to push the protester against a wall and grab her by the neck and forcing her out of the hall.
"What he did was completely disproportionate and unacceptable really, particularly for a sitting Member of Parliament," Martin said."She was carrying no weapon, there was nobody else in the room that felt it necessary to respond in that way."
