A Christian preacher of 25 years was arrested after reportedly asking a woman in a headscarf what she thought about Quran verses on domestic violence.
John Steele, 60, had been out in Rotherham town centre on June 21 when he engaged in a ’30-second conversation’ with the passerby at a public awareness stall.
But following the encounter he was detained by police and threatened with a ‘non-crime hate incident’ (NCHI).
