BBC cameraman in hospital after altercation outside Jeremy Corbyn’s home

It appears that relations between Jeremy Corbyn’s team and the press have reached a new low. Channel 4’s Michael Crick has claimed that James Webb, BBC cameraman, was admitted to hospital last night following an incident outside Corbyn’s home in North London. He says the cameraman has suffered ‘neck and face injuries’ after a ‘Corbyn aide allegedly assaulted him as Corbyn left his home yesterday’.

Crick has shared a photo of the cameraman in hospital, which shows the extent of the injuries:
