Matt Hancock tells court he feared 'being pushed down escalator' during confrontation with anti-vaxxer
Videos were played to the court, showing Tarjanyi in the first incident accusing Mr Hancock of “murdering” people as the MP walked down the street.
He said Tarjanyi had accused him of “murdering millions of people”, repeated a conspiracy theory and allegedly shouted at him repeatedly before they reached the station. “He carried on shouting at me and members of the public, it was quite a packed train, and members of the public on the train tried to pursuade him to desist”, said Mr Hancock.“I felt intimidated.”
