arrest
'Arrest' is being widely searched in the UK, appearing fourth on Google's trending list with around 500 searches. The clearest signal in the available evidence is an ITV News story about the man arrested over the so-called 'Putney Pusher' incident, in which a woman was pushed into the path of a cyclist. The story features an interview with the suspect's sisters, who claim 'the police broke him' and have made a plea to the home secretary. Beyond this, the exact reason for the spike is not clear from the posts.
Why now: Searches appear driven by news coverage of the 'Putney Pusher' arrest and his sisters' public appeal to the home secretary.
