Australian policeman arrests mouthy criminal mid-speech

This is the bizarre moment a police officer stops his press conference mid speech to arrest a man yelling abuse.

Video shows Detective Inspector Winston Woodward address the media outside Albury police station in southern New South Wales on Monday morning.

A disheveled looking man with a glass bottle in his hand walked past and yelled out "bulls***t", interrupting Det Insp Woodward's speech.

Det Insp Woodward then stopped his conference mid-sentence and walked over to the man, forcing him to tip out the beer.

The officer then grabbed the man by the t-shirt and walked him inside the police station.

The man continuing yelling out as he was led into the station.

A spokesperson for Albury Police told 9 News the man was issued with a criminal infringement notice for offensive language and given an on-the-spot fine of $500.
