Overview

• Metropolitan Police said a man in his 50s was arrested at Heathrow on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to three posts on X, with multiple outlets identifying him as Graham Linehan.
• Linehan says five armed officers detained him on arrival from Arizona and told him he was under arrest for three April posts about transgender people.
• After officers raised health concerns in custody, he was taken to a hospital; police said his condition was neither life‑threatening nor life‑changing.
• The Met said airport officers’ firearms were not drawn and confirmed he was bailed pending further investigation; Linehan says a bail condition bars him from posting on X until an interview in October.
• The investigation is separate from a court appearance due Thursday at Westminster Magistrates’ Court over alleged harassment and criminal damage, charges to which he has pleaded not guilty.
