"You won't threaten the MP ever again, will you?" After a quiet encounter, Amesbury confronted and assaulted Paul Fellows at a taxi rank, leading to his guilty plea for assault by beating.
Prosecutor Alison Storey recounted that despite engaging in conversation for several minutes, the encounter escalated from a seemingly ordinary discussion into a violent confrontation initiated by Amesbury.
The court revealed that the altercation occurred after Mr. Fellows, who had been drinking, approached Amesbury about a bridge closure, prompting a surprising escalation into assault on the MP's part.
Amesbury's actions, captured in a video that showed him punching Fellows to the ground and then continuing to strike him, led to his suspension from the Labour Party and subsequent independent status.
