Ex-health secretary Matt Hancock says he feared being pushed down an escalator by Geza Tarjanyi.

Former health secretary Matt Hancock said he had never felt as intimidated when an anti-vaccination protester accused him of murdering people during the Covid pandemic, a court has heard.

On the first occasion on 19 January, Mr Hancock was passing an anti-vaccination protest, along with a member of his staff, near Parliament where Mr Tarjanyi filmed him. He continued: "It made me feel unsafe going about my place of work, it made me feel frustrated that instead of engaging in a normal debate, someone was trying to intimidate me, I thought that was unacceptable.Mr Hancock said one of the reasons he did not report the incident on 19 January was because he did not want "these people with these untrue beliefs to get further publicity from harassing me".

Both men then got on to a Jubilee Line train where Mr Tarjanyi accused the former health secretary of "murdering millions of people" before they were separated at Bond Street station, the court heard.Footage of the second incident from the defendant's phone showed him calling Mr Hancock a "murderous scumbag" and saying lockdown amounted to harassment of the country due to his "lies and deceit".
