British police ordered a review of an “incident” yesterday in which a man ran into Prime Minister David Cameron after he had given a speech, in an apparent breach of security.
Cameron was seen in video images backing away from a man with long dreadlocks running towards him and then being rushed to his car as the man was hustled away by security officers.
The unit responsible for the prime minister´s protection “will now conduct a review of the incident,” it said.
Police said in a tweet there was “nothing sinister” and it was “just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time”.
The man, who was wearing headphones, a tracksuit and sports shoes, later told BBC radio he had been jogging to a nearby gym when he ran into “a bunch of men in suits”.
“I didn´t know it was David Cameron until they let me out of the police van an hour later and told me what I´d actually done,” Dean Farley said.
“It begs the question, how good is Cameron´s security if I managed to run between it before they stopped me?” he queried.
The police said in a statement that the 28-year-old man was arrested by officers but later released without charge following the incident in Leeds in northern England.
