A 42-year-old man from Blackpool has been arrested and charged with an incident at a jobs fair hosted by Blackpool South MP Chris Webb.
Police were called to a "disturbance" at the venue in Church Street, Blackpool, on Thursday (February 27) where a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of public order.
The Labour MP said he was "incredibly grateful" to Lancashire Police officers and his parliamentary security team for "their swift action" in dealing with the incident.
Tom O’Keefe, 42, of Cross Street, Blackpool, has since been charged with Section 5 Public Order.
He is due to appear at Lancaster Magistrates Court next month.
