Can there even be a proper answer to that question?
Could the police have physically arrested him? Yes.
Would have any charges been placed against him? Almost certainly not.
Were the cops being twats? By the sounds of it, yeah.
Would he have suffered beyond inconvenience? Not likely.
Would, if challenged, the cops and security guard swear blind that he kicked off and was getting agitated? Very possibly.
If he complained to the police force in question, would his complaint be upheld? Possibly.
Could he sue the police for eighty billion pounds? No. But he might get a letter of apology and a mug saying "I've Met the Met".
Does any of this matter? No.
