Leyland anti-vax protester ordered not to approach Matt Hancock after harassment
An anti-vaccine protester who accused Matt Hancock of murdering people during the coronavirus pandemic has been ordered not to approach or contact the MP for three years.
Appearing in person as a witness in June, the MP told the court: “I felt physically intimidated and felt like I needed to get to a place of safety, he was being completely unreasonable. I didn’t know what further unreasonable actions he would take.” The second incident occurred at about 8am when Tarjanyi followed the MP through Westminster Underground station and onto a train for about 10 minutes, again accusing him of murdering people. Mr Hancock said he recognised the defendant and felt “more intimidated” because he was on his own and tried to get Transport for London staff to intervene.
The former health secretary feared Tarjanyi was willing to commit a crime, alleging the defendant had told him he “wanted to go to court”. Tarjanyi then got onto the Jubilee Line train with Mr Hancock and accused him of murdering “millions of people” before they were separated at Bond Street station.
When asked if he followed Mr Hancock, Tarjanyi repeatedly denied it and told the court he was “interviewing him”. Tarjanyi was found guilty by senior district judge Paul Goldspring. In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Hancock said: “I felt directly targeted. I feel less comfortable using public transport now.Reacting to the news, Mr Hancock said: “I am relieved at this guilty verdict. This individual didn’t just attack me, but he’s attacked several MPs and other public servants.
