A MAN from Salisbury was arrested after acting aggressively towards a harbourmaster while fishing in an inflatable boat.

On Monday afternoon three men were fishing just off West Bay beach, Bridport, when coastguards advised them their dinghy was too small.

The men, who were described as drunk, became hostile and were apprehended by police when they returned to the beach.

One of the men, a 39-year-old from Salisbury, was arrested and issued with a fixed penalty notice for a public order offence.
