Tommy Corbyn, who is studying electrical engineering at the University of York, is understood to have claimed he was headbutted at Mansion Nightclub in Micklegate in the early hours of Saturday.

The Labour leader’s 22-year-old son is the events manager of the university of York’s Palestinian Solidarity Society and reportedly spent the evening helping to organise a party for a Palestine hip-hop event.
