Man arrested after anti-vaccine protest outside health secretary’s London home

A man has been charged with having an article with intent to destroy or damage property following a reported anti-vaccine protest outside the southwest London home of health secretary Sajid Javid.

An online video allegedly shows a man delivering a letter with a message critical of Covid vaccinations to what they claimed was Sajid Javid’s Fulham property.

The clips shows the person standing outside the house speaking to the camera for several minutes in which he says the letter is putting the minister “personally on notice” for “harming” the UK population by recommending Covid vaccination.

The man then appears to be restrained in handcuffs by police officers.

The Metropolitan police have said that a 60-year-old man Geza Tarjanyi, of Leyland, Lancashire, was arrested in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham on Monday.

The Met said Tarjanyi was scheduled to appear in custody at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday but was bailed to appear at Isleworth crown court in Hounslow on 1 February.

Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting hit out at the incident via Twitter, writing: “It’s completely unacceptable that anti-vaxxers turned up at Sajid Javid’s home and it’s right that this should be taken seriously by the police.

“Best wishes to the Health Secretary and his family.

“They shouldn’t have to deal with this.”
