Missiles thrown at Nigel Farage during South Yorkshire campaign visit

Objects were thrown at Nigel Farage as he rode an open-top bus in Yorkshire on Tuesday, 11 June.

The Reform UK leader was campaigning in Barnsley when a protester approached the vehicle.

Mr Farage said he believes objects were some wet cement from a work site followed by a coffee cup, and was warned by police not to get off the bus.

He had just addressed supporters but was interrupted by a crowd of demonstrators.

Police arrested a man who threw the objects.
