当地时间5月20日，英国脱欧党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇( Nigel Farage )现身英格兰纽卡斯尔市中心参加竞选活动，期间被人泼奶昔。泼奶昔者将面临怎样的指控和惩罚？

　　Labour supporter and Remain fanatic Paul Crowther, 32, claimed he was the man behind the attack on Mr Farage - saying he didn't regret his actions.

　　向法拉奇泼奶昔的是32岁的反脱欧狂热分子Paul Crowther，他表示对自己的行为并不后悔。随后Crowther被警察带走。

　　He told reporters the Five Guys banana and salted caramel shake was "yobbo flavoured" - and he reportedly gave a statement to Northumbria Police who arrested the alleged assailant.

　　泼到法拉奇身上的是一杯来自美国快餐Five Guys的香蕉咸焦糖奶昔。

　　Mr Crowther had earlier shared a photograph of the milkshake on social media, saying: "I’d got my milkshake and coincidentally there’s a Brexit Party march."

　　Crowther 此前在自己的社交媒体账号中发出了一张奶昔的照片，并写道“我拿到了奶昔，而正巧这有一个脱欧党的游行。”

　　He later posted: "I f***ing did it, it was Farage, I can’t believe I did it."

　　随后他发文写道，“我做到了，是法拉奇。我不敢相信我做到了。”

　　那么，向政客泼奶昔这一行为会导致怎样的后果呢？

　　THIS afternoon a 32-year-old man was arrested on charged of common assault after a milkshake was thrown at Nigel Farage.This is when a person assaults another person, whether intentionally or recklessly, or commits battery, even without an injury.You can be charged with the offence without actually touching another person - as is alleged to have happened to Mr Farage.This is the lowest level of assault that it's possible to be charged for. The offence carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison, and/or a fine.However, he could just be let off with a caution.

　　当地时间5月20日下午，一名32岁男子因向Nigel Farage泼奶昔涉嫌普通侵犯人身。普通侵犯人身指蓄意或无意侵犯或殴打他人，无论是否造成身体伤害。尽管该男子并未触碰到法拉奇，但此次事件符合上述罪名。这是最轻级别的侵犯他人，面临的最高刑罚为入狱六个月，并可能支付罚款。但该男子也可能只会收到一条警告。

　　Mr Farage dubbed his soaking an "affront to democracy" and later tweeted: "Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible.

　　此后法拉奇发推谈及此事件表示，一些反脱欧份子太过激进。

　　Members of the public were filmed laughing as Mr Farage was led away after the latest milkshake attack on politicians and public figures.

　　从事件的视频中，可以听到法拉奇被泼奶昔后，周围群众发出的笑声。

　　Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson and Ukip candidate Carl Benjamin were both targeted in recent weeks.

　　最近几周，英国已发生多起政客被泼奶昔的事件。前保卫英国联盟领导者 Tommy Robinson 和英国独立党候选人Carl Benjamin 均遭人泼奶昔。

　　The milkshake incident comes today despite McDonald's branches in Edinburgh posting signs saying that milkshakes and ice creams would not be for sale ahead of Brexit party rallies.

　　尽管此前爱丁堡的麦当劳表示在脱欧党集会期间停售奶昔和冰淇淋，但并未影响这次奶昔事件。
