  • Footage circulating online shows a protester's head being pulled during the Reform UK conference in Birmingham.

West Midlands Police are appealing for a woman whose hair and head were reportedly grabbed at the Reform UK conference to come forward. The incident, captured in footage circulating on social media, occurred during an event at Birmingham's NEC.

Audience members were seen pulling the protester back as disorder broke out during Nigel Farage's keynote speech. Demonstrators were subsequently removed from the party's annual conference.

West Midlands Police stated: "We're aware of a video circulating from the Reform UK Conference showing an incident with a protester. We haven't received a complaint but would ask the woman involved to come forward and contact us so we can carry out enquiries."

Reform UK's home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, condemned the actions of members who pulled a heckler's hair during Mr Farage's speech. Activist group Climate Resistance, which claimed responsibility for the protest, said they were "horrified at the violence" and that the protester is considering contacting police.
