    It's unclear what sparked it but the councillor ended up being restrained by bouncers. There was shouting from Mr Rowley and a small crowd gathered to watch although there was no disruption to the counting itself.

    He was calmed down following the interventions of local MP Andrew Smith and MEP Anneliese Dodds. Police then arrived and led the councillor away.
