A man has been tackled by police after targeting Nigel Farage on the General Election campaign.
The Reform UK leader was on top of a party battle bus in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, on Tuesday morning, when a cup was thrown, narrowly missing him.
A man in a red hoodie could be seen shouting from a work site below, before reaching into a bucket and throwing something else, which also missed.
Workers appeared to then haul the man from the site and he ran off, before police officers tackled him to the ground.

Mr Farage said he believes the objects were some wet cement and a coffee cup.
He posted the footage on X, saying: “My huge thanks to South Yorkshire Police today.
“I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country.”
Mr Farage had been warned by police not to get off the bus.

It comes after Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, was charged with assault by beating and criminal damage when a milkshake was thrown over Mr Farage as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in Clacton-on-Sea in Essex on Tuesday last week.
Mr Farage was seen with the yellow drink splattered across his dark blue suit as he boarded his campaign bus.
During a campaign walkabout in Newcastle in 2019, he had a £5.25 Five Guys banana and salted caramel milkshake thrown at him.
