Surjit Singh Duhre is standing for The Brexit Party in Doncaster Central

A Brexit Party candidate who received death threats from left-wing activists has been run off the road while out campaigning in Doncaster last night, it has been claimed.

The incident occurred while Surjit Singh Duhre, who is standing for The Brexit Party in Doncaster Central, was reportedly being protected by a bodyguard after receiving 'vile abuse' during the campaign.

On social media last night, his colleague Andy Stewart, who is standing for Doncaster North for the same party, tweeted a picture of crash, with the trailer on its side.

He said: 'So how bad can it get in Doncaster? Tonight they attempted to ram my colleague off the road. Car spun, trailer smashed, driver in hospital. How bad?'

Sources in The Brexit Party laid the blame for the incident upon local left-wing political activists.

The incident comes just days after Mr Singh Duhre was reportedly subjected to death threats by a man in Doncaster who said 'I'm going to kill you,' as reported by The Star.

His colleague, Andy Stewart, who is standing for the nearby Doncaster North seat, said on Twitter: ''Today the threats and the vile abuse we have been subjected to went to a whole new level.

'One of my colleagues was threatened with his life.

'We knew something like this could happen but when it actually happens its very frightening.'

'He's since returned home, fearful for his life, not just because somebody said 'I'm going to kill you, but 'can you remember what happened in London? That will happen to you.'

'This was a threat from a particular vile sect in our society which seems to be overtaking politics in favour of militant abuse and vitriol.

'This is coming from the left of politics. We've condemned the right of politics, now it seems to have been met by the left of politics.

'There's no need for it.

'We're no threat for violence, we are not right or left, we are just right or wrong. This needs to stop.'
