A British lawmaker has been suspended by the governing Labour Party after footage appeared to show him punching a man repeatedly on the street.
Police are investigating the alleged attack by Mike Amesbury on Friday night, which first came to light after social media footage showed a brawl in the street following the alleged attack. Subsequent surveillance footage, obtained by the Daily Mail newspaper and published Sunday, appears to show Amesbury talking to a man before punching him in the face and then attempting to strike him again repeatedly on the ground.
The lawmaker said in a statement, released before the additional footage was published by the Mail, that he was “involved in an incident that took place after I felt threatened on the street following an evening out with friends.” He said he had “contacted Cheshire Police myself to report what happened during the incident.” Cheshire police said in a statement: “A 55-year-old man has been voluntarily interviewed under caution by police in relation to this incident.
