Objects thrown at Nigel Farage on open-top bus
Nigel Farage appears to have had objects thrown at him while on the campaign trail in South Yorkshire.
The Reform UK leader posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, which appeared to show objects being thrown at him while he was on top of a bus in Barnsley on Tuesday.
It is not clear what exactly the objects are. One of them appears to be a takeaway cup.
Another video of the incident, from a different angle, appears to show two objects missing Mr Farage, with one hitting the side of the bus.
South Yorkshire Police says it has arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of public order offences.
"It is believed that the man threw objects from a nearby construction area," police said in a statement.
"I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country," Mr Farage wrote about the incident on X.
"These people want to stop my election campaign. That’s never going to happen," he added.
