British police have charged a man after opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn was hit by an egg.
The man, 31-year-old John Murphy, was arrested after allegedly hitting Corbyn with an egg as the Labour Party leader visited a mosque in his constituency of Islington North on Sunday.
Murphy allegedly smacked the egg onto the left-wing politician’s head while shouting: “When you vote you get what you vote for.”

The Metropolitan Police said on Monday that 31-year-old John Murphy was charged with assault by beating. He is due to appear in court on Tuesday.
He was visiting Finsbury Park mosque and Muslim Welfare House as part of the annual Visit My Mosque Day, a national event in which the public are invited to visit mosques.
A party source said Corbyn was not hurt in the incident and continued with his plans for the day.
Police said the man had been quickly detained after the incident, which took place on Seven Sisters Road. The alleged attacker is believed to have been a pro-Brexit campaigner.
