Statement from Mike Amesbury MP:
Last night, I was involved in an incident that took place after I felt threatened on the street following an evening out with friends.
This morning, I contacted Cheshire Police myself to report what happened during this incident.
I will not be making further public comment but will, of course, cooperate with any inquiries if required by Cheshire Police.
I remain fully committed to working hard for the people of Runcorn and Helsby, and am determined to remain an open and accessible MP for our community.

For the thugs and criminals, see what to expect below.
