Pro-Brexit Politician Nigel Farage Hit With Milkshake While Campaigning

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS 12:12 PM EDT
(LONDON) — British politician Nigel Farage was hit with a milkshake while campaigning in the European Parliament election on Monday — the latest in a spate of attacks on politicians with the sticky beverages.
Farage was left with milkshake dripping down his lapels during a walkabout in Newcastle, northeast England. Police said a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault.
Paul Crowther, who was detained in handcuffs at the scene, said he threw the banana-and-salted caramel Five Guys shake to protest Farage’s “bile and racism.”
He said he had been looking forward to the milkshake, “but I think it went on a better purpose.”
