Nigel Farage was pelted with wet cement and a coffee cup as he took an open-top bus tour during his campaign in Barnsley town centre.
It is only a week after the 60-year-old was doused in milkshake by an OnlyFans model in Clacton, Essex, while campaigning for the general election.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Dramatic footage shows a man in a red hoodie scooping up handfuls of cement from a worksite before pelting them at the Reform leader.
He is seen being pulled away by construction workers to chants of ‘scum’.
Mr Farage had just addressed supporters before being interrupted by a crowd of demonstrators and warned by police not to get off the bus before the incident happened.
