Debs Newman, 60, was bearing witness to the loss of three mature lime trees in Falmouth when she was seized by officers. Newman, who said she had never been in trouble with the police, fell to the floor and hit her head, leaving her needing treatment from paramedics. She said: It all happened so quickly. I think someone had my arms, someone my feet. I heard a crack and my head hit the pavement.

The oak's removal has raised significant concerns about environmental conservation, as it was deemed a fine specimen with a life expectancy of at least 50 years.
