A member of a fox hunt was caught on camera appearing to attack a demonstrator

Footage released by West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs shows an altercation between a member of Atherstone Hunt and a protester carrying a video camera. The man who is filming can be heard warning the huntsman there is a fox ahead and says they should call the hounds away. But the member of the hunt, who is on horseback, dismisses the claim saying "you think I am going to believe you" before continuing up the road. The dramatic footage captures the moment the huntsman rides towards the demonstrator before swearing at him and jumping off his horse. He can then be seen squaring up to the protester before the camera swings around wildly filming the ground as the pair scuffle.
