They continued: "It is believed that the man threw objects from a nearby construction area. A suspect was quickly detained and remains in police custody."

Speaking at a rally in Great Yarmouth on Tuesday, the Reform UK leader described the situation as “very difficult because I actually like going out meeting people”.

He said: "All I can say is that whilst it’s concerning and whilst of course it does make me thoughtful and I may need to change tactics, slightly, but I’m going to make one promise to you… and my promise is this: I will not surrender to the mob, I will not stop campaigning, this democratic process has to continue."
