Injury allegation after hunt meet

Police are investigating an alleged assault during a drag fox hunt.

The incident happened on Saturday during a meet of the East Essex Hunt in Great Yeldham.

A reader, who asked not to be named, said he saw a group of about 12 to 15 protestors gather behind the Basmati Rice building in Stambourne Road, just before lunchtime.

Police spokesman Bill Stock said: “We are investigating allegations of assault made by a woman who was protesting at a hunt meeting in Great Yeldham."

If this was a Drag Hunt what on earth were the protesters doing there, Drag Hunts do not Hunt Foxes, ban or no ban, perhaps they just do not like the site of Horse, Hound and people enjoying theirselves.
