Labour leader Jacinda Ardern's visit to the University of Canterbury has led to an angry confrontation after a student turned up with a "Vote National" sign.
Ardern was mobbed by hundreds of students in the recreation room of the university, with more students crowding balconies to get a look at
the Labour leader.
While that was happening, a few metres away things turned ugly when National supporter Jacob Putson turned up with his homemade blue sign.
After booing, another student took particular offence to Putson and confronted him - pointing his finger in his chest and asking him who else in the room supported National.
He then ripped Putson's sign off him, throwing it on the ground and coming close to shoulder bumping him.
