Dorset Police have defended two fully-clothed officers entering a public pool in Bournemouth to remove a swimmer who was shouting and swearing.

They say they were called to reports a man - in his fifties - was behaving 'aggressively' at the Littledown Centre on Tuesday evening ... but he was released soon after as no crime had been committed.

The force insists the situation was dealt with 'proportionately' - as it was a 'potentially high risk environment'.
