I'd take North's tweet with a pinch of salt at the moment. A statement from UKIP (who can't really be trusted as they originally didn't reveal Woolfe's collapse was the result of a fight) and a report in the Guardian (which may be a little more trustworthy) say that the police have not been involved so far, hence there is no manhunt or (as some wilder rumours have had it) cross-country car chase in pursuit of Hookem.

All fingers are pointing at his being the MEP involved in the alleged punch-up, though.
