Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, who wants Britain to leave the European Union, was attacked in Nottingham, footage from BBC News shows.

Farage has said there would be a political earthquake if UKIP triumph at European elections next month.

He had just got out of a car in Nottingham, when a man approached him and cracked an egg on him.

Police later charged Frederick Glenister – who branded UKIP ‘sad, scared old men’ – with common assault.

The 33-year-old, from Radford, Nottingham, will appear at the city’s magistrates’ court later in May.
