David Cameron was attacked by a member of the public this
morning in a shocking lapse of security.
The Prime Minister was in Leeds to promote the Government's
proposed high speed three railway line cutting travelling times between
northern cities.
As he came out of the city's Civic Hall a protester ran up
to him and shoved him.
Mr Cameron did not fall over and was driven away from the
scene, apparently uninjured.
Police took the 28-year-old man away. He was arrested but
later released.
West Yorkshire Police later tweeted that no threat had been
made, adding: 'Nothing sinister, just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time.'
The prime minister was in Leeds to launch government plans
to upgrade rail links in the north of England.
Following the incident, Chief Inspector Derek Hughes said:
'Around midday, a 28-year-old local man was briefly arrested after he came
close to the prime minister's group who had just left the civic hall in Leeds.
'No threats were made, and after the man's details were
checked, he was de-arrested and allowed on his way.'
