Animal rights activists stormed the Grand National on Saturday after posing as racegoers, delaying the race as they were tackled by officials and officers - despite the Mail On Sunday warning police weeks ago of the plan to disrupt the event. Animal Rising protesters, an environmental and animal rights group, were seen attempting to climb over fences to gain access to the grounds, as well as breaking onto the grass ahead of the race - only for them to be carted off to the delight of spectators. Merseyside police confirmed that 118 people have been arrested. It came after the alleged ringleader of the protest Rose Patterson, 33, was arrested in Greater Manchester by Merseyside Police this morning following an investigation by the Mail On Sunday into the plot. A 25-year-old woman from London and a man were also arrested outside the racecourse on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance.
