Man charged after objects thrown at Nigel Farage in Barnsley

A man has been charged with using threatening behaviour towards Nigel Farage after objects were thrown at him on the general election campaign trail.

The Reform UK leader was on top of a party battlebus 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 construction area below, before reaching into a bucket and throwing something else, which also missed.

On Wednesday, South Yorkshire police said Josh Greally, 28, was charged with using threatening, abusive, insulting words and behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence.

He has been released on bail to appear before Barnsley magistrates court on 26 June.

Farage, speaking while campaigning in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, said the incident was “pretty nasty”.
