Jeremy Corbyn’s son was allegedly assaulted while leaving a nightclub in York over the weekend.

The 22-year-old University of York student allegedly suffered a cut to his eye after being “headbutted”, according to the Daily Mirror.

The youngest son of the Labour party leader was reportedly leaving Mansion Club in the city centre after partying with friends when he was allegedly assaulted at around 4am.

When contacted by the Independent, a North Yorkshire police spokesperson said: “Police in York are investigating an allegation of assault on a 22-year-old man. The incident occurred at the Mansion Nightclub, Mickelgate, between 4am and 4.30am on Saturday.

“The victim, who suffered a cut to his eye, reported the matter to North Yorkshire Police at 1.26pm on Saturday.

“Enquiries are on-going to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the incident. Nobody has been arrested. Witnesses or anyone with information that could assist officers are asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room.”

A spokesperson for Jeremy Corbyn told the Independent he would not be commenting.
