The Metropolitan police said it had taken Assange into custody after Ecuador withdrew his asylum status.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested by British police in London after spending nearly seven years in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
London's Metropolitan police released a statement which said officers had executed a warrant after the Ecuadorian government withdrew asylum. 'He has been taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as is possible," said the statement.
"The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster Magistrates' Court, and was invited into the embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government's withdrawal of asylum." Dramatic video of the arrest was captured by Ruptly – the video news service owned by Russia Today – showing Assange being dragged out of the embassy and into a police van.
