A Thanet man has been charged and released on bail following an assault on UKIP party leader Nigel Farage with a placard.
Andrew Scott, 37, from Ramsgate Road, Margate, was charged with assault by beating, after Mr Farage was allegedly attacked as he entered a hotel in Cliftonville at around 3pm yesterday.
Unemployed Scott was released on conditional bail, to appear at Margate Magistrates' Court on March 3.
As a condition to his bail he must not attend any political event of any political party, either in protest or support of the party in question.
It comes after the South East MEP was struck by an angry protester outside the Walpole Bay Hotel, in Cliftonville, where he was meeting supporters.
Mr Farage was greeted by a jeering mob as he arrived in the town.
The 49-year-old looked visibly shaken after being struck over the head as minders tried to clear a path while dozens of campaigners screamed in his face, pushed and shoved him.
A police officer then helped to usher the controversial politician up steps into the hotel, along with four supporters, as protesters continued to chant abuse.
Mr Farage was not injured by the placard.
Asked if he thought such protests would become the norm, Mr Farage later told ITV Meridian: "Well I hope not. It happened in Edinburgh and this was worse than Edinburgh.
"People intended to physically hurt me, but it is not going to stop me."

What scares me is remembering what happened to Pim Fortuyn.
That’s the real Left!
Mob violence by dimwitted thugs.
It’s the way they silence opposition. Been goin’ down since Marx wrote his screeds.
Liberals and progressive always go violent when they are losing.
Ends justify the means.
Their political enemies are sub-human.
They do not know what a socialist utopia we could build if only they would get out of the way.
So violence is justified.
You get the most flack over the target. He must be dropping 500 pounders dead on.
>> It’s the way they silence opposition. Been goin’ down since Marx wrote his screeds.
If every Marxist and Marxist sympathizer were removed from this world tomorrow, it would be a far better place.
Communists are of Satan.
They are trying to silence the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
We’d still be stuck with Mohammadans (although Marxists and Moes aren’t mutually exclusive, but exhibit the same dysfunctional behaviors).
I wonder! If Milliband The Lesser wins the next election it will be because Farage split the "conservative" vote.Actually it's a lot like what happened here in '12.Osama Obama would have been toast if purists,those who'll settle for nothing less than Reagan,Palin or Cruz,turned out to vote instead on spending the day stocking up on ammo and watching a "Doomsday Preppers" marathon.
The Torrie Establishment in the Uk are nothing but RINO times 100 over in the UK....
Thanks mojito.
Well put.
If every Marxist and Marxist sympathizer were removed from this world tomorrow, it would be a far better place.
Oh I agree but if we could do it, we would be no
different than them.
The same goes for Islam.
I don’t want to have to exterminate millions of them,
although we may have to in order to survive.
I would prefer to strike at the heart of their
belief, in Mecca.
>> I don’t want to have to exterminate millions of them
I don’t either.
However, if the Almighty GOD saw fit to remove them from His creation... who would I be to argue with His wisdom. :-)
The left shows their true colors once more. Keep it up, lefties; nothing ruins credibility like violence.
Sooner or later an influenza will become a pandemic.
