A man has been arrested briefly by police after he ran into David Cameron as he left a news conference in Leeds.
The man, identified as Dean Balboa Farley, headed towards the Prime Minister at speed, bumping into him in the street outside the city's Civic Hall.
But Mr Cameron's security team stepped in to wrestle the dreadlocked 28-year-old out of the way.
The PM appeared to be alone for several moments before the team got him into a waiting car.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Specialist Protection Command, which is responsible for the protection of the Prime Minister, has said it will conduct a review of the incident in coordination with West Yorkshire Police.
Video footage shows Mr Cameron appearing to brace himself as the man approached, before a bodyguard intervened to grapple with him.

Police say there was 'nothing sinister' about the incident
West Yorkshire Police said there was "nothing sinister" about the incident and it was "just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time".
He is understood to have told officers he was on his way to a local gym.
The runner later posted on this Facebook page: "So im all over the news as 'the protester that attacked david cameron in leeds' yeah if you call brushing into someone while running then getting assault[...]"
Conservative MP Mark Pritchard has demanded a full investigation into how the Metropolitan Police security team allowed the man to get so close to Mr Cameron.
He called for the Met's commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe to launch an immediate internal inquiry.
He said: "The Met Police have some of the best close protection officers in the world. However, this was a clear breach of security and could have been far more sinister in outcome."
Sky's Home Affairs Correspondent Mark White said: "Maybe it does raise questions about the kind of security bubble you put around VPs when they are put in the public like this.
"Especially at the moment as you have the terrorism alert in this country at severe.
"But you can see from the video that it did happen very quickly, and the security personnel that were with the Prime Minister did react to pull this person away.
"The Prime Minister was then quickly ushered into his vehicle along with Chancellor George Osborne."
He added: "There are some suggestions this man may have been jogging to the gym and may not have noticed he was about to collide with the Prime Minister."
The security scare happened after Mr Cameron spoke about the second phase of the £50bn HS2 high-speed rail project.
Chief Inspector Derek Hughes of West Yorkshire Police said: "Around midday today, a 28-year-old local man was briefly arrested after he came close to the Prime Minster's group, who had just left the Civic Hall in Leeds.
"No threats were made, and after the man's details were checked he was de-arrested and allowed on his way."
