The Shocking Public Assault
The 38-year-old broadcaster took to his Instagram story to address the perpetrator directly, writing: 'To the middle-aged white man who spat in my wife's face, in front of our daughter, in Tunbridge Wells this afternoon...' The LBC Drivetime host added a determined message, stating 'We are going to find out who you are.'
The disturbing event took place in the Kent town of Tunbridge Wells, with Swarbrick expressing gratitude toward a member of the public who stepped in to assist his family during the traumatic experience. The presenter, known for his current affairs segment 'This Morning's View' on the popular daytime programme, has maintained an extremely private family life despite his public profile.
A Glimpse Into Swarbrick's Family Life
Swarbrick is a father of two who recently discussed his parenting approach, revealing that his ten-year-old son won't be allowed to have a smartphone until he turns fourteen. 'Some of his mates have got phones already,' Swarbrick told HELLO! magazine. 'I have told him that it's not happening until he is at least 14. He has not taken kindly to that.'
The broadcaster also shared how his children remain unimpressed by his television and radio career. 'We'll be listening in the car and the trailer for the show will pop up and I'll go, "Oh, it's me,"' he said. 'They're like, "Yeah, so what?" They're not bothered. You think, dad worked bloody hard to get here!'
Determination Following the Incident
The presenter has shown resolve in seeking accountability for the assault, making clear his intention to identify the individual responsible. The incident represents a disturbing violation of public decency that has clearly affected the Swarbrick family.
Representatives for Tom Swarbrick have been contacted by Daily Mail regarding the matter as the search for the perpetrator continues.
