Nigel Farage ducks for cover as protester throws objects at him

Police have tackled a protester who threw objects at Nigel Farage while he was on the campaign trail. Mr Farage was waving at a crowd of supporters in Barnsley town centre from the top of the Reform battle bus when a man appeared to throw something towards him. The Reform UK leader, 60, can be heard shouting “oh” and a loud thud is audible as the object hits the body of the bus. A man wearing a red hoodie and backpack can be seen reaching into a bin before launching another object towards Mr Farage. The individual then attempts to run awaty but is tackled to the floor by several uniformed police officers. The crowd can be heard cheering and clapping as the assailant is arrested. Mr Farage said he had been warned by police not to get off the bus. He added he believed the objects were some wet cement from a work site and a coffee cup.
