Ed Miliband has been pelted with eggs on his first public appearance in weeks as he attempted to reboot the Labour party.
The Labour leader was campaigning in London when a volley of eggs was thrown at his back.
At least one hit the politician on the head and jacket as he visited East Street market in Walworth, south London.
The egg thrower, named as Dean Porter, reportedly told journalists he felt Labour no longer stood up for the poor
And in another blow, he suggested the party's approach would have been different had Mr Miliband's older brother David become leader.
An aide hurriedly removed Mr Miliband's jacket and he continued his tour, chatting to shoppers and stallholders apparently unperturbed.
A man in a fluorescent jacket was seized and quickly bundled away by market security officers.
Mr Porter had earlier written on Twitter: "Watch the news tonight. I suspect I might be on it."
He later wrote: "I tried to egg Ed Milliband as he came down to East Street in southwark, watching the news to see if its on."
Minutes later, he sent a message to the Prime Minister saying: "@David_Cameron hi pleb, can you come to East Street Market so I can egg you like I've egged your chum @Ed_Miliband lol."
He also wrote: "I got the b*****!!! Lol."
The incident distracted from the Labour leader's attempts to galvanise his party after a difficult summer and attack the coalition over the cost of living.
Senior figures have questioned the shadow cabinet's "deafening silence" and warned the party must "shout louder" or face electoral defeat in 2015.
The jitters have been compounded by a rise in Tory fortunes thanks to a string of data suggesting the British economy is at last turning the corner.
New figures on Wednesday showed unemployment fell by 4,000 between April and June and average earnings rose by 2.1% in the year to June.
On Tuesday, data revealed inflation fell to 2.8% in July and house prices rose by 3.1% in June and last month growth of 0.6% was given for the second quarter.
