Ukip leader Nigel Farage is hit by an egg thrown by a protester as he arrives on a campaign visit to Nottingham.
Nigel Farage arrived in Nottingham to rally support for his East Midlands Ukip candidates for the European elections, but as he got out of a car in the city centre he was hit by the egg.
He quickly got back into the car which drove off leaving supporters behind.
The man who threw the egg was holding a placard which said: "Ukip ... sad, scared, old men."
The egg hit Mr Farage on his left shoulder.
The protester, who gave his name as Fred from Nottingham, said he carried out the attack because he does not agree with Ukip
policies.
He was put into a patrol car by police and driven away.
Mr Farage then went to the Bell Inn near the city's town hall and ordered a pint of Robin Hood beer.
