A BREXIT Party supporting pensioner has been attacked with a milkshake outside a polling station.
Brexit Party voter has milkshake thrown over him by ‘yob’
The unnamed man was left covered in the gloopy, pink liquid this morning. Passer-by Lucy Blackman posted the image on social media. She said: “This poor man was covered with milkshake this morning by a disrespectful yob.
“Whatever you are voting, it’s a democracy.
“We should be able to have a say without acts of violence.
“This could have been acid or anything.
“What has this country come to.”
Ms Blackman said she witnessed the aftermath of the attack in Aldershot, Hants.
She added: “I arrived just after, he seemed shocked.
“He just told me to watch out for the milkshake on the floor so my children didn’t slip.”
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Yet more disgusting behaviour. When democracy fails, civility ends. Let's get Brexit done and finish this."
Piers Morgan also reacted with fury, tweeting: "This elderly gentleman served in the British armed forces for 22 years.
"Today he was manning a Brexit Party polling station when he was attacked & had milkshake thrown all over him.
"All because he wants the result of a democratic referendum to be honoured. Disgusting."
Other locals slammed the yob who did it.
