Scotland Yard has launched an investigation after a BBC cameraman's foot was run over by one of its cars which was carrying Jeremy Corbyn to Labour's General Election manifesto meeting.

Senior party officials met in London on Thursday to discuss and finalise Labour's manifesto after a draft version was leaked.

But Mr Corbyn's arrival at the venue was far more dramatic than he would have hoped as BBC cameraman Giles Wooltorton's left foot was run over by the front left wheel of the vehicle carrying the Labour leader.

Mr Wooltorton had to be treated by paramedics and was subsequently taken away in an ambulance.
