Mandelson custard protestor arrested
The climate change protester who threw green custard over the UK's Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has been arrested, Scotland Yard said today.
Leila Deen, 29, attended a police station in central London “by arrangement” yesterday, according to a spokesman.
“She was arrested by officers from Westminster CID and was bailed to return to a central London police station on a date in early April,” he added.
Lord Mandelson today expressed "surprise" that Ms Deen had been able to bypass security outside the Royal Society in London on Friday morning.
She covered him in custard from close range, before walking away unchallenged.
The Cabinet minister also revealed that the attack had left him with a “slight irritation” on his face.
