A Labour MP had been arguing with a constituent about the temporary closure of a
local bridge moments before he apparently punched him to the ground, a witness
has said.

Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn & Helsby in Cheshire, has had the whip
suspended after the emergence of video that appears to show him taking a swing
at a man while waiting for a taxi in Frodsham, Cheshire, at 2.15am on Saturday.
The man falls onto a section of the road, at which point Amesbury, 55, appears
to hit him several more times.
