An anti-vaxxer who filmed himself as he accused Matt Hancock of killing ‘millions of people’ on the Tube denied harassing the former Health Secretary today.
Geza Tarjanyi, 61, followed the West Suffolk MP, 44, through Westminster Underground Station as he was about to walk down an escalator and called him a ‘murdering scumbag’ on 24 January.
As they approached an escalator, Hancock turned and said ‘don’t push me’ to the conspiracy theorist.
Tarjanyi allegedly yelled ‘you’ve killed millions of people’, then continued his rant as he sat next to Hancock on the train.
He is said to have told the Conservative MP: ‘I’ll keep coming for you and I’ll get that Sajid Javid too’.

Tarjanyi, who is representing himself, appeared at Westminster Magistrates court, wearing a black polo neck and black trousers.
He denied one count of harassment without violence between 18 January and 25 January 2023.
The charge relates to ‘a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of Matthew Hancock’ and includes another incident five days earlier.
Tarjanyi is is said to have stood outside a security gate in Whitehall on 19 January and recorded himself asking Hancock: ‘Why did you kill so many people with Midazolam?’
He allegedly barged into Hancock but he claims the MP barged into him, the court heard.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring warned him: ‘This is not a show trial.

‘If you appear in court and try to cross-examine [Mr Hancock] on any forms of policy I will not allow it.’
Tarjanyi, of Leyland, Lancs, will face trial on 8 June back at the same court.

He was released on bail on condition he does not contact Hancock directly or indirectly.
The same condition was made in relation to Sinead Grimes, a prosecution witness.
He must also not go within 200 metres of the Houses of Parliament as part of his bail conditions.
Tarjanyi, who became known online for his activism against fracking and mask wearing, previously filmed himself screaming at former Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam in 2021.
Last November he stood trial for criminal damage after turning up at Sajid Javid’s home in Fulham with adhesive spray and posters on January 3 last year.
He travelled to the then Health Secretary’s house to stage a protest against the coronavirus vaccine rollout.
Tarjanyi was cleared after a two-day trial at Isleworth Crown Court.
He also filmed himself harassing Chris Whitty and calling the Chief Medical Advisor a ‘liar’ in 2021.
Tarjanyi had yelled: ‘Is Bill Gates funding this?’ as Mr Whitty, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, hurried down the road, refusing to reply to his comments.
Hancock finished third when he competed on ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
