LONDON – The climate change protester who “slimed” Lord Mandelson with green custard has been arrested, police have said.

Scotland Yard said Leila Deen (29) attended a central London police station “by arrangement” yesterday. She was released on bail until early April.

The anti-Heathrow expansion campaigner accosted the Business Secretary outside the Royal Society in London on Friday morning.

She threw a cupful of custard in his face, before walking away unchallenged.
