[h=3]I JUST SAW A BUNCH OF MEN IN SUITS, SAYS RUNNER[/h]The dreadlocked jogger who caused a major security scare by barging into the Prime Minister yesterday claimed he was the victim of the encounter.
Dean Farley, 28, who insisted he had no idea who he bumped into, said he had been assaulted by the PM’s close protection officers.
He said on Facebook: ‘So I’m all over the news as “the protester that attacked David Cameron in Leeds”. Yeah... if you call brushing into someone while running then getting assaulted by half a dozen coppers in suits.’
Speaking later on Radio 5 Live, he said he had been on his way to a gym. ‘I ran across the road and all I saw was a bunch of men in suits,’ he said. ‘I dodged in and out and around, next thing I know is I’ve got a half dozen suited men haranguing me and manhandling me to the floor.
‘I didn’t know it was David Cameron. There was no cordon. It begs the question how good is Cameron’s security if I managed to run between it.’
