Labour’s Mike Amesbury says he felt ‘threatened’ after footage appears to show him berating man lying on road

The MP Mike Amesbury said he will “cooperate with any inquiries” police have as officers investigate reports of an alleged assault involving the Labour backbencher in Cheshire.

Amesbury, 55, said an incident on Saturday had left him feeling “threatened” after footage circulated online appearing to show him berating a man who was lying on the road before a bystander pushed him away.
