In an incident reminiscent of the recent Secret Service mishaps surrounding President Obama’s security, England’s prime minister David Cameron, got a taste of what Obama is dealing with here in America.
Somehow, Cameron’s protection lapsed, as a jogger ran up to him outside of Leeds Civic Hall and pushed him before finally being stopped by the MPS.
A spokesman said: ‘The Metropolitan Police Service is aware of an incident in Leeds today, Monday, 27 October, involving a 28-year-old man and the Prime Minister as he left the Civic Hall.
‘The man was arrested by local officers and was later de-arrested. The MPS Specialist Protection Command is responsible for the personal protection of the Prime Minister and will now conduct a review of the incident in consultation with West Yorkshire Police.’
Mr Cameron spotted the man running up to him and took a step back and to the left before security noticed and bundled the protester to the floor.
