Attack attempt on John Prescott receives general disapproval
A physical altercation aimed at former Labour MP John Prescott left him unscathed but instead affected two women as a man in a Prescott mask tried to reach the politician during a public appearance in east London. The man, thought to be in his 30s, was arrested following the disturbance in Chrisp Street, Poplar, and is now in custody at an east London police station, while another man involved in the incident was only spoken to by police and released shortly after.
Mr Prescott made the incident public via a post on his twitter page, receiving a swift response from Conservatives chairman Erick Pickles, who called such incidents “unacceptable”. Another Tory spokesman announced the party had already opened an investigation into the incident, and had suspended the men involved (who were already rumoured to be party members) from the Conservative ranks, pending the results of the enquiry.
