UK broadcaster ITN's cameras catch the moment their correspondent is arrested as he tries to report on a protest by pro-Tibet activists.
John Ray was forcibly removed along with pro-Tibet demonstrators outside Beijing's Ethnic Minorities Park, close to the main Olympic zone on Wednesday (13 August 2008).
What started as a peaceful demonstration allowed to proceed by the Chinese police ended in angry clashes between police officers and protesters after activists tried to display the 'Snow Lion' flag which symbolises a free Tibet and is illegal in China.
Ray was bundled into a police van and taken away and later released.
China has said the Olympics should not be used as a platform for political protest.
