MP Mike Amesbury has been charged with assault after a video appeared to show him punching a man to the ground in the street.

The 55-year-old has been suspended from the Labour party.

The charge relates to reports of an assault on a 45-year-old man in Frodsham, Cheshire, at just after 02:45 BST on 26 October.

The MP will appear in court at a later date to be formally charged with common assault.
