A man was arrested Sunday for allegedly hitting English Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn with an egg, according to reports. A source in the left-leaning political party reportedly said that Corbyn was visiting a Muslim welfare center and mosque when struck by the egg. Corbyn was not harmed, Reuters said. “A 41-year-old man was quickly detained by officers on scene and arrested on suspicion of assault. He is currently in custody at a north London police station,” the Metropolitan Police Department reportedly said in a statement. The suspect is reportedly a “pro-Brexit campaigner.”
