The writer, who was returning to London from Arizona, claimed he was arrested immediately after stepping off the plane and escorted to a private area where he was told he was “under arrest for three tweets”.
Mr Linehan, 57, shared the tweets. One read: “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”
Another was a picture of a trans rally with the caption: “A photo you can smell.”
The third was a follow up to this tweet which said: “I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. F*** em.”
He said he was questioned and released with a bail condition that he must not go on Twitter.
He also said that after being checked by a nurse while in custody, his blood pressure had reached ‘stroke territory’, and he was escorted to A&E where he spent eight hours under observation.
