Suspended Labour MP Mike Amesbury has pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in the street.
The Runcorn and Helsby MP appeared at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Thursday accused of attacking 45-year-old Paul Fellows in Main Street in Frodsham, Cheshire, which was reported to officers at 2.48am on October 26 last year.
Amesbury was suspended from the Labour Party after footage emerged which appeared to show him punching a man.
He now sits in Parliament as an Independent.
The 55-year-old was summonsed to court to face a charge of section 39 assault after a file was passed to prosecutors on October 29.
