LONDON — A man was arrested Tuesday after an alleged threat to Nigel Farage on social media that he would be shot in the head.

In a statement, the Met Police said they arrested a man in his 20s “on suspicion of sending threatening communications to a Member of Parliament.” That man was released on bail Wednesday.

A report in the Telegraph newspaper alleges the Reform UK leader was told: “I am going to shoot you in the head if you win.”
