A Unite Against Fascism supporter needed medical treatment after getting his head trapped in a rubbish bin, the incident occurred in Walsall on Saturday after the UAF counter protest in the town centre. The UAF supporter was looking for a cigarette that somebody had just discarded in the bin, but the man`s head became trapped. Fellow UAF supporters laughed at their comrade`s plight and started taking pictures of him, none of them attempted to assist the victim. The emergency services were then contacted and the bin had to be cut up in order to release the man. The victim had to put on an oxygen mask for 15 minutes after suffering respiratory problems due to inhaling lighter fuel and glue earlier on.
Weyman Bennett from the UAF stated that a person has the right to rummage through bins to search for discarded cigarettes. The supporter has now been released from hospital and is making a full recovery.
