A Christian pastor who was arrested after he preached from the Bible said yesterday he had been treated shamefully .
John Sherwood, 71, was led away in handcuffs, questioned in a police station and held overnight after being accused of making homophobic comments outside Uxbridge Station in west London.
The grandfather claimed he was left bruised after police pulled him from a mini-stepladder he was using and cuffed his hands behind his back.
Police said they had received complaints the man had been making allegedly homophobic comments and arrested him under the Public Order Act, which can be used under the vague proviso that someone is using abusive or insulting words that cause harm to someone else. He was later released without charge.
