...for "loitering."
To summarize further: ACAB. Loitering and "resisting arrest" are the new "mopery".
Right in front of the US embassy, not long after some people from the embassy asked him to leave.
It's not really loitering though, more like "strolling without motive" (which he had). He refused to provide identification when asked.
...on a public sidewalk near a famous tourist destination. He also is not obligated to show ID unless he is being arrested, which he had no reason for being so. So basically, arrested for resisting arrest.
