LONDON – LONDON (AP) — First came the chicken, then the egg.
UK Conservative Party leader David Cameron was hit with an egg Wednesday during a campaign stop in southwest England.
The politician laughed off the missile, which hit him on the shoulder as he left a college in the town of Saltash, saying it was the "first of the campaign."
A youth in a gray hooded sweatshirt was caught on camera lobbing the egg and being led away by police.
Police said a 16-year-old student wad detained but then released.
Cameron has also been followed on the campaign trail by a newspaper reporter dressed in a chicken suit. The Labour-supporting Daily Mirror newspaper claims Cameron is afraid to answer its tough questions.
Cameron joked "now I know which came first — the chicken not the egg."
