Wayward UK Jogger Who Ran Into PM Cameron Criticises Security Breach

Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron points at reporters as he attends a news conference after an EU summit in Brussels October 24, 2014. Cameron said on Friday Britain would not make an additional 2.1-billion-euro payment into this year's European Union budget, calling the bloc's demand for extra funds "completely unacceptable".

Dean Balboa Farley thought it was a fine day to jog his way to see his personal gym trainer. Along the way he accidentally bumped into someone. He didn't get the chance to apologise nor even get to see that person's face. He was shocked that in an instant a group of men in black pounced on him. It was only later that he learned the man he bumped into was no less than British PM David Cameron.

In an interview with BBC News, Farley implied that the security detailed at that time at the Civic Hall didn't look they were guarding someone very important. "All I saw were a group of men in suits who came out of the Civic Hall."

Mr Cameron just attended a meeting with a group of city leaders inside Civic Hall in Leeds, a city in West Yorkshire. As he was leaving the place, a man ran directly towards him. As expected, it was mayhem. The security detail immediately accosted the man, and hurled the prime minister into a waiting vehicle.

Farley was shocked. A brief scuffle ensued, presumably because he fought off the men in uniform. Initially described as a protester, the experience, Farley said, shook him up, "like I'd been in an accident or something."

But the 28-year old questioned Mr Cameron's security detail. Never mind that he got manhandled and arrested, the fact remains that he managed to run between the prime minister and his security before he got stopped. It was a very close call, suffice to say.

Labour MP Keith Vaz exactly voiced that. "It could have ended in a completely different scenario," he told Sky News. As is routine, Farley was detained and held up for questioning. But he was later released with no charges filed against him because West Yorkshire Police found "nothing sinister" about him.

However, Vaz said what ensued that day has caused a "great deal of concern." Mr Cameron may be lucky this time Farley was just an innocent jogger, but the incident calls for the reality that security assigned to protect top politicians needed to be "tightened up," former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott said.
