Five arrested after Iain Duncan Smith
allegedly assaulted outside Tory conference
Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader and
former work and pensions secretary,
has been assaulted at the conference,
the Spectator is reporting.]

[Duncan Smith told the Spectator he was
confronted by a group as he was going
to an event outside the conference secure zone
and that at one point he was hit on
the head with a cone.
He said he was so angry that he was tempted to retaliate,
and that at that point the group backed off.

Greater Manchester Police told the
Spectator that officers were there within minutes,
that there were not thought to be any serious injuries
and that five people - three men and
two women - had been arrested.]
