Man runs into David Cameron on visit to Leeds

Prime Minister David Cameron has been shoved by a member of the public on a visit to Leeds.

A man ran into the PM as he left the city's Civic Hall, but he 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.''

Was he shoved to the left or to the right or did he hold his ground and hold on to the middle

The man was a voter. So Cameron went the same way that he did. I public.
After the election, he won't give a fuck.

Looks like the bodyguard was not willing to throw himself in front of this particular PM. Actually he took brisk steps away from what might have been a serious incident of yuck and dead leader.

The man was a jogger, taking the same route to work that he takes every day. As he passed the Civic Hall, a crowd of men in suits came out and he couldn't avoid crashing into them - he was then pushed to the ground, handcuffed and bundled into a police van for an hour.

He's just been talking about it on the radio. He had no idea Cameron would be there - nobody did as it was an unpublished meeting. Apparently, he was quite amazed to find himself being described as everything from a terrorist to a protester in the media!

According to the security guards, "He just came out of nowhere." I'll translate that for you, "We weren't fucking looking."

"Honey, guess who I ran into today!"

Oh well, at least it wasn't America. They'd still be picking bullets out of him and a dozen bystanders...

No, wait:

This being Yorkshire, it could have been Geoffrey Boycott.

Good thing the man was not injured. What about the prime minister? As if I cared.

[JimC]

Our own PM would've shirt-fronted him...

[pErvinalia]

He probably would have. Cameron looked like a confused grandpa. Incredible how his security didn't manage to see a person running full pelt into their vicinity.

Cameron had a bike nicked, had a yob do the handgun sign on him from behind, got run into by a slow moving jogger but worst of all allowed the Germans to purloin his wallet of £1.7bn....guy would be dangerous if he was in a position of power.
