A video has emerged appearing to show MP Mike Amesbury shouting and swearing at a man who is lying on the pavement during an apparent disturbance in Cheshire.

The Labour member for Runcorn and Helsby is seen pointing to the man and saying “you won’t threaten the MP ever again, will you?” in the early hours of Saturday in Frodsham town centre.

It is not clear from the footage, which was apparently filmed by an onlooker, what happened in the moments beforehand.

A Cheshire Police spokeswoman said officers were called to reports of an assault and were examining the circumstances.

...

Posting on his own Facebook page, the 55-year-old backbencher said: "Last night I was involved in an incident that took place after I felt threatened following an evening out with friends.

"This morning I contacted Cheshire Police myself to report what happened.
