What's going on with the guy with a plaid shirt and baseball cap?

Could be a friend or a member of the public joining to observe, get contact info, identify where the guy would be taken, coordinate jail support, etc...

Idk if that's a thing in the UK tho.

Could just as well be malicious. Can't know without further evidence.
