Jess Phillips has said aa man had to be stopped from getting into her office in Birmingham.
Her staff members had to be locked inside after the man began banging on the windows and shouting “fascist”.
It comes after a death threat was delivered to the same office quoting Boris Johnson’s “dead in a ditch” line.
Ms Phillips told Sky she was “not going to leap to blameBoris Johnson“but added that” we all need to be better “and the prime minister needs to” choose instead of trying to divide … to lead “.
She confirmed to the Mirror that the man had tried to break in and she told LBC: “My staff had to be locked into my office while a man tried to smash the windows and kick the door, I believe. I don’t know.
“I don’t know what I can say because the man has been arrested, but he was shouting that I was a fascist, apparently. “
West Midlands confirmed the arrest in a statement.
A spokeswoman said: “Police were called to reports of a disturbance outside an address on Yardley Road in Acocks Green, Birmingham just before 2. 25 pm this afternoon (26 September
“A 36 – year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of cannabis. He’s been taken into police custody and will be questioned in due course. “
It comes after Mr Johnson provoked a furious response by telling MPs they should honor the memory of Murdered parliamentarian Jo Cox by deliveringBrexit.
There was uproar in the Commons as the Prime Minister repeatedly berated MPs, rejected calls to temper his language and said the best way to honor Mrs Cox – an ardent Remainer – was to “get Brexit done”.
Jess Phillips today urged the Prime Minister to apologise for his use of language.
Yesterday she shared an anonymous death threat she had received this week onTwitterwhile hitting out at Boris Johnson.
A note, handed in to her constituency office, read: “It was rather prophetic thatBoris Johnsonshould say: ‘I would rather be found dead in a ditch’. That is what will happen to those who do not deliverBrexit. “
The MP tweeted on Wednesday: “I’m not scared of an election, I am scared I might be hurt or killed.”
And she shared a death threat which quoted the Prime Minister’s “do or die” comments.
During a general debate in the Commons, Labor MP Madeleine Moon said she had received a message from a colleague telling her about the incident.
She said to MPs that it showed language is “causing risk and danger on a daily basis to us all “.
Shadow deputy leader of the House, Cat Smith – who was talking before the intervention – said she was” chilled and shocked “.
Earlier today the Birmingham Yardley MP challenged the Prime Minister when they were both going to vote on a possible recess for Tory conference.
A witness said theLaborMP was among a group who approache d and confronted the Prime Minister while MPs voted on a motion about adjourning for the Tory conference.
The witness claimed Mr Johnson started jabbing his finger at a group of Labor MPs when he saw them watching the altercation.
Asked about the exchange by the Mirror, Ms Phillips confirmed: “I asked how he felt about being quoted in a death threat to me. He exhaled in that way he does and had nothing to say.
“I asked why he felt divisive language and stoking hate was a good strategy. He said his prepared line that he wants to deliverBrexit. ”
She said Mr Johnson did not react angrily, despite a witness describing the PM’s behavior as a “meltdown”.
