A 39-year-old man will appear in court today charged with a religiously aggravated assault on MP George Galloway, who was left bruised in an alleged street attack.
The Respect politician suffered a suspected broken jaw and rib as well as facial injuries following an incident in Notting Hill, London, on Friday evening.
Mr Galloway had been posing for photos with people moments before the alleged attack, his spokesman said.
A man was arrested by police shortly afterwards and questioned by detectives overnight.
Neil Masterson, 39, of Camden Hill, London, will appear before Hammersmith Magistrates' Court.
