A cameraman and a photographer so enthralled at the sight of Tim Farron all but came to blows as they fought to catch a glimpse of the Lib Dem leader.

Mr Farron was at a polling station at Stonecross Manor Hotel in Kendal, Cumbria, where he cast his vote in the General Election this morning.

But as the media gathered outside in the pouring rain to film and snap the politician leaving the venue, two men saw red as they each tried to gain a prime spot to catch a swatch of Mr Farron.

After much pushing, shoving, pulling, tripping, slipping, and grabbing, the TV cameraman emerges victorious as he floors the photographer.

A very confused woman behind the camera that caught all the action can be heard saying: “Oh, man just nearly tripped up.

“Oh, he’s done it again  - what’s going on?”

Once realisation sets in, she continues: “Oh, god, they’re having a proper scrap.”

When the snapper is floored, she lets out a huge gasp.

We feel you. There are no words. It was Tim Farron in the building, wasn’t it?
