Man who threw objects at Nigel Farage on open-top campaign bus pleads guilty
Objects thrown at Nigel Farage during Yorkshire campaign trip
A man who threw items at Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has admitted a public order offence.
Josh Greally, 28, was arrested in the town centre of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, two weeks ago after he threw what looked like a coffee cup and another object at Mr Farage.
The politician was campaigning on the top deck of a battle bus in the town, waving to supporters. The objects appeared to narrowly miss him.
Greally, from Chesterfield, pleaded guilty when he appeared for a short hearing on Wednesday at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court.
District Judge Tim Spruce asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared on Greally, and said he would sentence him on 28 August.
