Police were called to a talk by George Galloway at Aberdeen University after protesters showered him with glitter.

Footage appears to show several people carrying placards walk in front of the stage where the veteran politician, wearing his trademark fedora, is on his feet. The video then seems to show a shower of gold, then green glitter being thrown in the air.

A woman can be seen leaping over the desk towards the stage in an apparent attempt to apprehend the culprits and a scuffle breaks out, with a woman repeatedly shouting: Who did that?''

The former MP tweeted following the incident:

Police Scotland said they attended High Street in Old Aberdeen on Tuesday evening after reports of a disturbance.
