This is the extraordinary moment a lone woman waving a purple, white and green Suffragette flag was ‘manhandled’ by a gang of masked trans activists.
The unnamed woman supporting the campaign group Standing For Women (SFW) was assaulted during a counter-protest by the Manchester Trans Rise Up (MTRU) movement next to the city’s statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in St Peter’s Square.
The two groups clashed after the trans activists arrived to disrupt SFW’s speaking event in front of the statue as part of an event which said it aimed to reclaim ‘a part of Manchester for women’s voices’.
