Police caution man after incident at Reform’s party conference

  • A man has been given a conditional caution by West Midlands Police following an investigation into assaults on protesters at the Reform UK conference in Birmingham.
  • The decision follows video footage showing audience members grabbing a protester, pulling her hair, and hitting her with a walking stick as activists disrupted leader Nigel Farage's speech.
  • Accepting a conditional caution requires an admission of guilt, with conditions potentially including fines, reparations to victims, or rehabilitation.
  • Two other men have been interviewed voluntarily as part of ongoing enquiries into the incident at the NEC on 4 September.
  • West Midlands Police continue to appeal for further victims or witnesses with information about the assaults to come forward.
